NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Business

 

On August 13, 2021 (the “Closing”), Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. (formerly New Beginnings Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) consummated its previously announced business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated March 8, 2021, by and among the Company, Artemis Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company, and Airspan Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Airspan”) (See Note 3). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name to Airspan Networks Holdings Inc.. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Airspan”, the “Company”, “us”, “we”, “our” and any related terms prior to the Closing of the Business Combination are intended to mean Legacy Airspan and its consolidated subsidiaries, and after the Closing of the Business Combination, Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In addition, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “New Beginnings” and “NBA” are references to New Beginnings Acquisition Corp., the Company’s name prior to Closing.

 

The Company designs and produces wireless network equipment for 4G and 5G networks for both mainstream public telecommunications service providers and private network implementations. Airspan provides Radio Access Network (“RAN”) products based on Open Virtualized Cloud Native Architectures, that support technologies including 5G new radio (“5G NR”) and Long Term Evolution (“LTE”), and Fixed Wireless standards, operating in licensed, lightly-licensed and unlicensed frequencies.

 

The market for the Company’s wireless systems includes mobile carriers, other public network operators and private and government network operators for command and control in industrial and public safety applications such as smart utilities, defense, transportation, mining and oil and gas. The Company’s strategy applies the same network technology across all addressable sectors.

 

The Company’s main operations are in Slough, United Kingdom (“U.K.”); Mumbai and Bangalore, India; Tokyo, Japan; Airport City, Israel; Santa Clara, California; and the Company’s corporate headquarters are in the United States (“U.S.”) in Boca Raton, Florida.

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Airspan IP Holdco LLC (“Holdco”) – 99.8% owned by Airspan. Non-controlling interest in the results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the minority equity holders’ share of the profit or loss of Holdco. The non-controlling interest in net assets of this subsidiary, and the net income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest, were not recorded by the Company as they are considered immaterial. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim financial statements have been included. The results reported in these interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and Legacy Airspan’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Form S-4 registration statement (File No. 333-256137) which is available on EDGAR.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company has historically incurred losses from operations. In the past, these losses have been financed through cash on hand or capital raising activities including borrowings or the sale of newly issued shares.

 

7

 

 

The Company had $164.4 million of current assets and $68.6 million of current liabilities at September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company used $45.3 million in cash flow from operating activities. The Company is investing heavily in 5G research and development and the Company expects to continue to use cash from operations during the remainder of 2021 and through the first half of 2022. Cash on hand and borrowing capacity under the Fortress Credit Agreement (see Note 9) may not allow the Company to reasonably expect to meet its forecasted cash requirements.

 

Going concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 9 and 10 to the financial statements, the Company’s Convertible Notes and senior term loans require certain prospective financial covenants to be met. The Company’s business plan for 2021 and first half of 2022 contemplates increased revenue and reduced operating losses to achieve satisfaction of the financial covenants. Given the continued uncertainty in the global markets, in the event that the Company was unable to achieve these prospective covenants, the Company’s senior term loan (see Note 9) and the subordinated loan (see Note 8) could become due prior to the maturity date. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was not in compliance with the respective covenants of both the Convertible Notes and senior term loans; however, the Company was granted a waiver from compliance for these covenants as of September 30, 2021 and prospectively for December 31, 2021.

 

In order to address the need to satisfy the Company’s continuing obligations and realize its long-term strategy, management has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve its operating and financial results, which the Company expects will be sufficient to meet the prospective covenants of the Company’s Convertible Notes and senior term loan and provide the ability to continue as a going concern, including the following:

 

focusing the Company’s efforts to increase sales in additional geographic markets;

 

continuing to develop 5G product offerings that will expand the market for the Company’s products; and

 

continuing to evaluate and implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce non-strategic costs in operations and expand the Company’s labor force in lower cost geographies.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

The spread of COVID-19, a novel strain of coronavirus, has and continues to alter the behavior of business and people in a manner that is having negative effects on local, regional and global economies. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact with short-term disruptions on our supply chains, as governments take robust actions to minimize the spread of localized COVID-19 outbreaks. The continued impact on our supply chains has caused delayed production and fulfilment of customer orders, disruptions and delays of logistics and increased logistic costs. As a further consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, component lead times have extended as demand outstrips supply on certain components, including semiconductors, and has caused the costs of components to increase. These extended lead times have caused us to extend our forecast horizon with our contract manufacturing partners and has increased the risk of supply delays. The Company cannot at this time accurately predict what effects, or their extent, the coronavirus outbreak will have on the remainder of its 2021 and 2022 operating results, due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, component shortages and increased component costs, the length of voluntary business closures, and governmental actions taken in response to the outbreak. More generally, the widespread health crisis has and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our products and therefore impact the Company’s results.   

 

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

8

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity, or remaining maturity when acquired, of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are all maintained in bank accounts.

 

          
   September 30, 
   2021   2020 
Cash and cash equivalents  $85,058   $10,007 
Restricted cash   186    138 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash  85,244   $10,145 

 

Restricted cash consists of cash on deposit and cash pledged as collateral to secure the guarantees described in Note 9. The cash on deposit balance reflects the remaining balance available of the senior term loan (see Note 9) that is solely for the purpose of financing the manufacture of products for a specific customer’s network. Restricted cash balances were as follows (in thousands):

 

          
  

September 30,

2021

  

December 31,

2020

 
Customer and supplier guarantees  $176   $298 
Landlord guarantees   10    124 
Total  $186   $422 

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent receivables from customers in the ordinary course of business. These are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Receivables are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors, such as historical experience, credit quality, country risk, current level of business, age of the accounts receivable and current economic conditions. The Company regularly analyzes its customer accounts overdue more than 90 days and when it becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance to reduce the related receivable to the amount it reasonably believes to be collectible. When collection efforts cease or collection is considered remote, the account and related allowance are written off.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value under the average cost method. Cost includes all costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. We record inventory write-downs to net realizable value through an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving items based on inventory turnover trends and historical experience.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The costs of additions and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and the expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred as part of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, based on prices prevailing at the date of acquisition of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

 

  Plant, machinery and equipment — over 2 to 5 years

 

  Furniture and fixtures — over 4 to 5 years

 

  Leasehold improvements — over lesser of the minimum lease term or the useful life

 

9

 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is the result of a business combination that occurred in 2018. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible assets and other intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, rather, an impairment test is conducted on an annual basis, or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present, which are determined through a qualitative assessment. A qualitative assessment includes consideration of the economic, industry and market conditions in addition to the overall financial performance of the Company and these assets. If our qualitative assessment does not conclude that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value, we perform a quantitative analysis. In a quantitative test, the fair value of a reporting unit is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis and further analyzed using other methods of valuation. A discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various assumptions, including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our long-term projections. Assumptions used in our impairment testing are consistent with our internal forecasts and operating plans. Our discount rate is based on our debt structure, adjusted for current market conditions. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If not, we compare the fair value with its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge of the reporting unit’s goodwill would be necessary. The Company’s annual assessment date is December 31.

 

Based on the results of the assessments performed, no indicators of impairment were noted. Accordingly, no further impairment testing was completed and no impairment charges related to goodwill were recognized during all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Intangible assets, net

 

The Company’s intangible assets are primarily the result of business combinations and include acquired developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements. These are amortized utilizing a straight line method over their estimated useful lives. When establishing useful lives, the Company considers the period and the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used; or, if that pattern cannot be reliably determined, using a straight-line amortization method over a period that may be shorter than the ultimate life of such intangible asset. There is no residual value associated with the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets.

 

The Company reviews for impairment indicators of finite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets as described below in “Impairment of long-lived assets.”

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. This review consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the asset with the asset’s expected future undiscounted cash flows. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted future cash flows, impairment exists and is determined by the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset. Any impairment provisions recognized are permanent and may not be restored in the future. No impairments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.  

 

Other non-current assets

 

Other non-current assets represent the value of funded employee severance benefit accounts and deposits issued to landlords. Eighteen employees are entitled to one month of the employee’s current salary, multiplied by the number of years of employment. The Company accrues a liability for this obligation and funds an employee severance benefit account monthly. The deposited funds include earnings accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn by the employee only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to labor law or agreements. The value of these funds is recorded in other non-current assets and the liability is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Right-of-use assets and Lease liabilities

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” in 2019. This new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires the Company to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months at commencement of the lease. Lease payments are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

10

 

 

Convertible Notes

 

Concurrent with the Business Combination, the Company issued convertible notes. Refer to Notes 3 and 10 for further discussion on the convertible notes. The convertible notes are accounted as a liability under the traditional convertible debt model and measured at amortized cost under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 470-20.

 

The Company accounts for the embedded derivatives at fair value under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Under ASC 815, an embedded feature in a debt instrument that meets the definition of a derivative is fair valued at issuance and remeasured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

 

The Company evaluated the guidance in ASC 815 and concluded the conversion option is not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. As a result, the redemption feature and conversion option were bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and are separately measured at fair value at each reporting period within other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in their respective fair values recognized in other income (expense), net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Common Stock Warrants and Post-Combination Warrants

 

The Company (then known as New Beginnings Acquisition Corp.) issued 11,500,000 public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and 545,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”, and the Public Warrants together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Common Stock Warrants”) in connection with NBA’s initial public offering. The Common Stock Warrants entitle each holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price of at $11.50 per share. As of September 30, 2021, 12,045,000  Common Stock Warrants are outstanding.

 

At Closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued Post-Combination Warrants (as defined below) exercisable for 9,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock. The Post-Combination Warrants include: (i) 3,000,000 warrants exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $12.50 per share (the “Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants”); (ii) 3,000,000 warrants exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $15.00 per share (the “Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants”); and (iii) 3,000,000 warrants exercisable to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $17.50 per share (the “Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants” and the Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants, together with the Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants and Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants, the “Post-Combination Warrants”). As of September 30, 2021, there were 3,000,000 Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants, 3,000,000 Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants, and 3,000,000 Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants outstanding. The Post-Combination Warrants may only be exercised during the period commencing on the Closing and terminating on the earlier of (i) two years following the date of the Closing and (ii) the redemption date, as further described in Note 14, at the exercise prices described above.

 

The Company evaluated the Common Stock Warrants and Post-Combination Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) and concluded they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Since the Common Stock Warrants and Post-Combination Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-40, the Company records these warrants as liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within other long-term liabilities and measures these warrants at fair value at each reporting period date, with changes in their respective fair values recognized in other income (expense), net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We derive the majority of our revenue from sales of our networking products and software licenses, with the remaining revenue generated from service fees relating to maintenance contracts, professional services and training for our products. We sell our products and services to end customers, distributors and resellers. Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages.

 

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Certain of our contracts have multiple distinct performance obligations, as the promise to transfer individual goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and the customer can benefit from these individual goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which we separately sell these products. For items that are not sold separately, we estimate the stand-alone selling prices using either an expected cost-plus margin or the adjusted market assessment approach depending on the nature of the specific performance obligation.

 

For all of the Company’s product sales, revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment of the product. For product sales, the Company generally does not grant return privileges, except for defective products during the warranty period. Sales taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenues.

 

11

 

 

Revenue from non-recurring engineering is recognized at a point in time or over-time depending on if the customer controls the asset being created or enhanced. For new product design or software development services, the customer does not control the asset being created, the customer is not simultaneously receiving or consuming the benefits from the work performed and the work performed has alternative use to the Company. Therefore, revenue related to these projects is recognized at a point in time which is when the specified developed technology has been delivered and accepted by the customer.

 

Revenue from professional service contracts primarily relates to training and other consulting arrangements performed by the Company for its customers. Revenues from professional services contracts provided on a time and materials basis are recognized when the Company has the right to invoice under the practical expedient as amounts correspond directly with the value of the services rendered to date.

 

Revenue from product maintenance contracts is recognized over time as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied. This is typically the contractual service period, which is generally one year. Maintenance and support services are a distinct performance obligation that includes the stand-ready obligation to provide telephone support, bug fixes and unspecified software upgrades and updates provided on a when-and-if-available basis and/or extended hardware warranty, which is considered a service type warranty.

 

Revenue from software licenses is primarily related to the sale of perpetual licenses to customers. The software delivered to the customer has stand-alone functionality and the customer can use the intellectual property as it exists at any time. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue when the software license is delivered to the customer. There are no further performance obligations once the software license is delivered to the customer.

 

Payment terms to customers generally range from prepayment to 120 days from invoice, which are considered to be standard payment terms. The Company assesses its ability to collect from its customers based primarily on the creditworthiness and past payment history of the customer. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient that allows an entity to not adjust the promised amount of consideration in customer contracts for the effect of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of product and services and payment of the related consideration is less than one year. The estimated cost of any post-sale obligations, including basic product warranties, is accrued at the time revenue is recognized based on a number of factors, which include historical experience and known conditions that may impact future warranty costs.

 

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities as a fulfilment cost rather than an additional promised service. Therefore, revenue related to shipping and handling activities is included in product revenues. Shipping and handling costs are accrued and recorded as cost of revenue when the related revenue is recognized. Billings to customers for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, including travel, lodging and meals, are recorded as revenue, and the associated costs incurred by the Company for those items are recorded as cost of revenue. Revenue related to the reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs are accounted for as variable consideration.

 

Contract Balances

 

A contract asset is recorded when revenue is recognized in advance of our right to receive consideration (i.e., we must perform additional services in order to receive consideration). Amounts are recorded as receivables when our right to consideration is unconditional. When consideration is received, or we have an unconditional right to consideration in advance of delivery of goods or services, a contract liability is recorded. The transaction price can include non-refundable upfront fees, which are allocated to the identifiable performance obligations.

 

Contract assets are included within accounts receivables and contract liabilities are included in deferred revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

 

The Company capitalizes commission expenses paid to internal sales personnel and sales agent commissions that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts, for which the related revenue is recognized over a future period. These costs are incurred on initial sales of product, maintenance and professional services and maintenance and support contract renewals. The Company defers these costs and amortizes them over the period of benefit, which the Company generally considers to be the contract term or length of the longest delivery period as contract capitalization costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Commissions paid relating to contract renewals are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related renewal period as commissions paid on renewals are commensurate with commissions paid on initial sales transactions. Costs to obtain or fulfil contracts were not significant for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Costs to obtain a contract for development and engineering service contracts are expensed as incurred in accordance with the practical expedient as the contractual period of these contracts are generally one year or less.

 

12

 

 

Warranty Liabilities

 

The Company provides a limited warranty for periods, usually ranging from 12 to 24 months, to all purchasers of its new products. Warranty expense is accrued on the sale of products and is recognized as a cost of revenue. The expense is estimated based on analysis of historic costs and other relevant factors.

 

Foreign currency

 

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of all of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities of subsidiaries for which the U.S. dollar is the functional currency are remeasured based on exchange rates at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities of these operations are remeasured at historical rates in effect when the asset was recognized or the liability was incurred. Revenues and expenses for foreign entities transacted in local currency are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during each period. The resulting remeasurement gains and losses are recognized within other income (expense), net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company recorded foreign currency losses of $17 thousand and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and foreign currency gains of $0.1 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which are included in other income (expense), net.

 

Significant Concentrations

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in highly rated financial instruments. The Company maintains certain of its cash balances in various U.S. banks, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from sales of its products and approximately 72.6% and 68.2% of product sales were to non-U.S. customers for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and approximately 70.8% and 68.1% of product sales were to non-U.S. customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Three customers accounted for $34.7 million or 64.9% of the net accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2021 and two customers accounted for $52.6 million or 73% of the net accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2020. The Company requires payment in advance or payment security in the form of a letter of credit to be in place at the time of shipment, except in cases where credit risk is considered to be acceptable. The Company’s top 3 customers accounted for 60.4% and 63.0% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 59.6% and 64.2% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had two customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the three and nine-month period’s total revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had three customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the three and nine-month period’s total revenue.

 

The Company received 97.6% and 99.1% of goods for resale from five suppliers in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company received 98.3% and 97.8% of goods for resale from five suppliers in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company outsources the manufacturing of its base station products to contract manufacturers and obtains subscriber terminals from vendors in the Asia Pacific region. In the event of a disruption to supply, the Company would be able to transfer the manufacturing of base stations to alternate contract manufacturers and has alternate suppliers for the majority of subscriber terminals.

Share-based compensation

 

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service periods. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations includes compensation expense for share-based awards granted based on the estimated grant date fair value. Compensation expense for all share-based awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. Because share-based compensation expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, share-based compensation expense has been reduced to account for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. (See Note 15).

 

Segment reporting

 

The Company operates as a single segment, the development and supply of broadband wireless products and technologies. This is based on the objectives of the business and how our chief operating decision maker, the President and Chief Executive Officer, monitors operating performance and allocates resources.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets are recorded based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authorities. The Company does not have any other material uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties or recorded for uncertain tax positions.

 

Other taxes

 

Taxes on the sale of products and services to U.S. customers are collected by the Company as an agent and recorded as a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority. For sales in applicable countries outside the U.S., the Company is subject to value added tax (VAT). These taxes have been presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  

 

Fair value measurements

 

We carry certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs based on the observability as of the measurement date, is as follows:

 

  Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  Level 2 Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; and

 

  Level 3 Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities being measured within the fair value hierarchy. (See Note 12).

Earnings (loss) per share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options and warrants at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The potential issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes is evaluated under the if-converted method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-04 (amended by ASU 2019-10), “Intangibles – Goodwill and other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” which simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing the second step of the test. There is a one-step qualitative test, and this ASU does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The new standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” which requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customers in a software licensing arrangement. The new standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends the existing guidance. The new standard was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2021, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The FASB reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock instruments and made certain disclosure amendments to improve the information provided to users. The new standard will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options”. This ASU provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. The new standard will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. This ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This new standard may be adopted by the Company no later than December 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The potential adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On August 13, 2021, the Company and Legacy Airspan completed the Business Combination, with Legacy Airspan surviving the Business Combination as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company was renamed Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. Cash proceeds from the Business Combination totaled approximately $115.5 million, which included funds held in NBA’s trust account and the completion of the concurrent private placement of shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE” or “PIPE Financing”) and sale of the Company’s senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes Financing”).

 

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Business Combination, each share of Legacy Airspan capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing automatically converted into and became the right to receive a specified number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Post-Combination Warrants. The aggregate transaction consideration paid in the Business Combination was (i) 59,426,486 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) 3,000,000 Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants, (iii) 3,000,000 Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants, (iv) 3,000,000 Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants and (v) $17,500,000 in cash. The aggregate transaction consideration was allocated among the holders of shares of Legacy Airspan capital stock (including holders of shares of Airspan capital stock issued pursuant to the net exercise of warrants to purchase Legacy Airspan capital stock and holders of shares of Legacy Airspan restricted stock), holders of Legacy Airspan stock options and participants (the “MIP Participants”) in Legacy Airspan’s Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”).

 

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company (then known as New Beginnings Acquisition Corp.) issued 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 545,000 Private Placement Warrants. Following the Business Combination, the Common Stock Warrants remain exercisable for Common Stock of the Company. All other features of the Common Stock Warrants remained unchanged. There were no cash obligations for the Company pertaining to these Common Stock Warrants.

 

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, holders of an aggregate of 9,997,049 shares of Common Stock sold in NBA’s initial public offering exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from NBA’s initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which was approximately $10.10 per share, or $101.0 million in the aggregate.

 

At Closing, the Company filed the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”). Among other things, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation increased the number of shares of (a) Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue from 100,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares and (b) preferred stock the Company is authorized to issue from 1,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares.

 

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, certain former stockholders of Legacy Airspan (the “Legacy Airspan Holders”) and certain NBA stockholders (the “Sponsor Holders”) entered into a registration rights and lock-up agreement (the “Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement”). Subject to certain exceptions, the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement provides for 44,951,960 shares of Common Stock, as well as 2,271,026 Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants, 2,271,026 Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants and 2,271,026 Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Post-Combination Warrants), in each case, held by the Legacy Airspan Holders to be locked-up for a period of six months following the Closing, while the 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor Holders will be locked-up for a period of one year following the Closing, in each case subject to earlier release upon (i) the date on which the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period or (ii) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the Closing that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of our Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement also provided that the Private Placement Warrants and shares of Common Stock underlying the units sold by NBA in a private placement concurrent with its initial public offering (the “Private Placement Units”), along with any shares of Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants, were locked-up for a period of 30 days following the Closing so long as such securities were held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Units or their permitted transferees.

The Company accounted for the Business Combination as a reverse recapitalization, which is the equivalent of Legacy Airspan issuing stock for the net assets of New Beginnings, accompanied by a recapitalization, with New Beginnings treated as the acquired company for accounting purposes. The determination of New Beginnings as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes was primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, Legacy Airspan will comprise all of the ongoing operations of the combined entity, a majority of the governing body of the combined company and Legacy Airspan’s senior management will comprise all of the senior management of the combined company. The net assets of New Beginnings were stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Reported results from operations included herein prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy Airspan. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and loss per share related to Legacy Airspan’s outstanding convertible preferred stock and common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated to reflect the conversion ratio established pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred underwriting fees and other costs considered direct and incremental to the transaction totaling $27.0 million, consisting of legal, accounting, financial advisory and other professional fees. These amounts are reflected within additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.

 

PIPE Financing

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Business Combination, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which the PIPE Investors subscribed for and purchased an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $75.0 million.

 

Convertible Notes Financing  

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Business Combination, the Company issued $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 7.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on September 30, 2021. The Convertible Notes mature on December 30, 2024, unless earlier accelerated, converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Convertible Notes are pari passu in right of payment and lien priority and are secured by a security interest in (a) all of the real, personal and mixed property in which liens are granted or purported to be granted pursuant to any of the collateral documents as security for the obligations, (b) all products, proceeds, rents and profits of such property, (c) all of each loan party’s book and records and (d) all of the foregoing whether now owned or existing, in each case excluding certain excluded assets.

 

Each Convertible Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, are convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the payment in full of the principal amount (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon), into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $12.50 per share (see Note 10).

7.SUBORDINATED DEBT 

 

On August 6, 2015, Legacy Airspan issued Golden Wayford Limited a $10.0 million subordinated Convertible Note Promissory Note (the “Golden Wayford Note”) pursuant to the subordinated Convertible Purchase Agreement dated such date. The Golden Wayford Note was amended and restated on November 28, 2017, to reduce the interest rate thereon and to reflect the application of the payment of $1.0 million of principal on such note. The Golden Wayford Note had an original maturity date of February 16, 2016, which through subsequent amendments was extended to June 30, 2020. The conversion rights related to this agreement expired on its maturity date, June 30, 2020, and on this date the loan was reclassified from Subordinated Convertible Debt to Subordinated Debt.

 

20

 

 

The principal and accrued interest under the Golden Wayford Note would have been automatically converted into common shares at the time of the next equity financing and consummated prior to, on or after the maturity date (June 30, 2020). Such conversion right expired in accordance with its term. Interest accrues at 5.0% per annum and is payable quarterly, however, because such payment is prohibited by the terms of the subordination, interest is (in accordance with the terms of the related promissory note) paid in kind.

 

On December 30, 2020, Pacific Western Bank (“PWB”) and Ally Bank (“Ally”) assigned their interests in a loan facility under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Legacy Airspan (the “PWB Facility”) to certain new lenders pursuant to an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) and PWB entered into a resignation and assignment agreement (the “Agent Resignation Agreement”) pursuant to which PWB resigned in its capacity as agent under all of the transaction documents and DBFIP ANI LLC (“Fortress”) became the successor agent (as defined in the Agent Resignation Agreement), replacing PWB in such capacity under the PWB Facility.

 

The Golden Wayford Note was subordinate to the PWB Facility and, after giving effect to the Assignment Agreement, the Resignation Agreement and a Reaffirmation and Omnibus Amendment, is now subordinate to the obligations under Legacy Airspan’s Assignment Agreement, Resignation and Assignment Agreement and Credit Agreement (the “Fortress Credit Agreement”) with DBFIP ANI LLC (“Fortress”) (see Note 8). A limited waiver under the Fortress Credit Agreement waives each actual and prospective default and event of default existing under the Fortress Credit Agreement directly as a result of the non-payment of the Golden Wayford Note.

12.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value.

 

The Company has certain non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when there is an indicator of impairment, and they are recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized. These assets include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, net. The Company did not record impairment to any non-financial assets in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company does not have any non-financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

(a)As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the subordinated term loan, subordinated debt and senior term loan considered the senior status of the senior term loan (Fortress Credit Agreement), followed by the junior status of the subordinated term loan and subordinated debt. The implied yields of the senior term loan, subordinated term loan and subordinated debt were 12.8%, 18.6% and 17.7%, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the subordinated term loan, subordinated debt and senior term loan considered the senior status of the senior term loan (Fortress Credit Agreement), followed by the junior status of the subordinated term loan and subordinated debt. The senior term loan face value was adjusted for $4.7 million of original issue discounts and $1.4 million of fair value of Series H warrants issued to lenders pursuant to the Fortress Credit Agreement, resulting in the fair value of the senior term loan totaling $37.9 million, with a 12.80% implied yield. The implied yields of the subordinated term loan and subordinated debt were 17.05% and 16.57%, respectively.

 

(b)As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of warrants outstanding that are classified as liabilities are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The key inputs to the valuation models that were utilized to estimate the fair value of the Post-Combination Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were as follows:

 

               
    Post- Combination
Warrants
    Private
Placement
Warrants
 
Assumptions:                
Stock price   $ 6.68      $ 6.68

Risk free rate     0.21 %     0.72 %
Expected volatility     42.5 %     34.1 %
Dividend yield     0.00 %     0.00 %

The conversion option derivative and call and contingent put derivative are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the utilization of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation. The Company utilized a binomial model to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative features requiring bifurcation associated with the Convertible Notes payable at issuance date and as of the September 30, 2021 reporting date. The key inputs to the valuation models that were utilized to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative liabilities include:

2021
   Issuance Date 
Assumptions:

(a)The $7,632 of Series D-1 and Series H warrants were converted as part of the Business Combination. Refer to Note 14 for roll-forward.

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate the carrying value because of their short-term nature of these accounts.

  

The estimated fair value of long-term debt approximated its carrying amount because based on the arrangement of the financing of the debt and pursuant to the terms of the CARES ACT, the Company applied for this debt to be forgiven by the SBA in whole or in part.

 

13.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company had commitments with its main subcontract manufacturers under various purchase orders and forecast arrangements of $86.9 million at September 30, 2021, the majority of which have expected delivery dates during the next six months.

 

Certain officers of the Company have change in control payments that they would be entitled to receive in the event of a change in control.

 

Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company receives and reviews correspondence from third parties with respect to licensing their patents and other intellectual property in connection with the sale of the Company’s products. Disputes may arise with such third parties if an agreement cannot be reached regarding the licensing of such patents or intellectual property.

 

On October 14, 2019, Barkan Wireless IP Holdings, L.P. (“Barkan”) filed a suit against Sprint Corporation and related entities (“Sprint”) alleging patent infringement based in part on two of the Company’s products, Airave 4 and Magic Box Gold. See Barkan Wireless IP Holdings, L.P. v. Sprint Corporation et al, Case No. 2:19-cv-00336-JRG (E.D. Tex.). On March 26, 2021, after a settlement between Barkan and Sprint, the Court granted an agreed motion to dismiss and the case was closed. Sprint has demanded that the Company indemnify Sprint $3,870,000 for a portion of the amounts Sprint paid to defend and settle the case. On April 27, 2021, Sprint gave notice that it intends to set-off amounts it owes the Company until Sprint’s indemnity demand is satisfied. The Company is currently evaluating Sprint’s indemnity demand and the extent of the Company’s indemnity obligation, if any. On July 6, 2021 Airspan invoked its rights under the dispute resolution clause in its agreement with Sprint to call for a meeting with Sprint to discuss the unresolved dispute. The parties are in negotiations on the matter in question.

 

Except as set forth above, the Company is not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings. The Company may from time to time become a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. While the results of such claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that it is not a party to any litigation the final outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors, payable either in cash, in property or in shares of capital stock. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not declared any dividends.

 

Legacy Airspan Warrants

 

The Company accounted for Legacy Airspan convertible preferred stock warrants that have been earned and are exercisable into shares of Legacy Airspan’s convertible preferred stock as liabilities pursuant to ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” as the warrants were exercisable into shares of Legacy Airspan convertible preferred stock that are contingently redeemable upon events outside the control of Legacy Airspan. The warrant liability is included in Other Long-term Liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrants are remeasured and recognized at fair value at each balance sheet date. At the end of each reporting period, changes in fair value during the period are recognized as a component of Other income (expense), net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.  

 

In January 2021 and February 2021, Legacy Airspan issued warrants for the purchase of 6,097 and 406, respectively, shares of Legacy Airspan Series H Convertible Preferred Stock to certain holders of Legacy Airspan Series H Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (one warrant for every two shares of Legacy Airspan Series H Senior Convertible Preferred Stock purchased in January and February 2021, respectively) with an exercise price of $61.50 per share and a 5-year term (“Series H warrants”). Legacy Airspan accounted for the initial fair value of the Series H warrants as a discount on the Legacy Airspan Series H Senior Convertible Preferred Stock issuance and recorded a corresponding warrant liability.

 

In June 2014, Legacy Airspan issued warrants to purchase 203,252 shares of Legacy Airspan Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (originally 12,500 taking effect for 16.26 to 1 stock split) to holders of Legacy Airspan Series D Convertible Preferred Stock with an exercise price of $61.50 per share, subject to certain performance requirements (the “D Warrants”). These warrants were unvested at December 31, 2020 and 2019 as the performance criteria had not been met and therefore, no liability has been recorded with respect to these instruments. The D warrants expired (unearned/unexercised) on January 31, 2021.

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Series D and Series H Warrants fair value were determined using a hybrid scenario approach, including   a Monte Carlo simulation.

 

The Legacy Airspan convertible preferred stock warrants were converted as part of the Closing of the Business Combination (Note 3) and ceased to exist after the Business Combination.

 

As a result, no Legacy Airspan warrants were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021:

Because the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets, it did not recognize any tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. As of September 30, 2021, there was $4.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.25 years and $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards to be recognized over a weighted average period of 8.37 years.

 

The following table summarizes the number of authorized, unissued shares of Common Stock, under all employee stock plans, to be issued upon exercise as of September 30, 2021:

17.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was an outstanding note receivable amounting to $87 thousand due from the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer in connection with the purchase of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The note was originally entered into in 1999 in the amount of $130 thousand of which $43 thousand had been repaid at September 30, 2021. No interest is due on the debt. The debt is collateralized by Common Stock. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the remainder of this outstanding note receivable was repaid in full.

 

As disclosed in Note 8, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Legacy Airspan has a Subordinated Term Loan with a related party.

 

18.EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

 

The Company accounts for its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary, Dense Air, as an equity method investment. Dense Air has been funded by its sole lender through convertible debt with various restrictions and requirements including a conversion option on substantially all of the ownership interest in Dense Air. Dense Air was designed to acquire and hold specific assets and the fixed price conversion option is economically similar to a call option on the assets of Dense Air. Therefore, the Company concluded consolidation is not required. The Company did determine it has significant influence in the operations of Dense Air and therefore, has applied the equity method of accounting. Given Dense Air has operated at a loss since its inception, and the Company has not guaranteed the obligations of Dense Air or otherwise committed to provide further financial support, equity method accounting has been discontinued. The investment had no value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

There have been no dividends received from Dense Air for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

On March 22, 2021, an investor acquired the sole lender to Dense Air’s rights and obligations under a convertible loan agreement. Concurrently, the Company received a notice of conversion from the investor to convert the outstanding amount of the loan into shares equating to 95% of the share capital of Dense Air. The conversion is expected in the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

The Company receives reimbursement of its expenses for providing certain management support functions to Dense Air, a related party, which are not material.

Recent Developments

 

The Business Combination

 

We consummated the Business Combination on August 13, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Under the Business Combination Agreement, Legacy Airspan became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Thereafter, the Company was renamed Airspan Networks Holdings Inc.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, holders of 9,997,049 shares of Common Stock sold in NBA’s initial public offering properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of NBA’s trust account, which was approximately $10.10 per share, or an aggregate redemption payment of $100.97 million.

 

As a result of the Business Combination, (i) 59,726,486 shares of Common Stock (including 345,471 shares of restricted Common Stock), 3,000,000 Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants, 3,000,000 Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants and 3,000,000 Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants were issued to Legacy Airspan stockholders, (ii) outstanding options to purchase Legacy Airspan Common Stock and Legacy Airspan Class B Common Stock were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 5,815,796 shares of Common Stock, (iii) $17,500,000 in cash was paid and RSUs with respect to 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock were issued to the participants in Legacy Airspan’s management incentive plan (the “MIP”) and (iv) 4,257,718 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance in connection with future grants under the 2021 Plan.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, we also issued 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors, at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate consideration of $75.0 million, and $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes.

 

After giving effect to the transactions and redemptions described above, there were 72,024,437 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the Closing. Our Common Stock, Public Warrants, Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants, Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants and Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants commenced trading on the NYSE American under the symbols “MIMO”, “MIMO WS”, “MIMO WSA”, “MIMO WSB” and “MIMO WSC”, respectively, on August 16, 2021.

 

Following the closing of the Business Combination, Legacy Airspan was deemed the accounting acquirer, and the Company is the successor SEC registrant. Although the legal acquirer in the Business Combination Agreement was New Beginnings, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under GAAP, the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Airspan in many respects. Under this method of accounting, New Beginnings will be treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes and the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Legacy Airspan issuing stock for the net assets of New Beginnings, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Legacy Airspan became the historical financial statements of the Company, and New Beginnings’ assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with Legacy Airspan’s on August 13, 2021. The net assets of New Beginnings will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Legacy Airspan.

 

The most significant change in our future reported financial position and results as a result of the Business Combination is an increase in cash (as compared to Legacy Airspan’s balance sheet immediately prior to the Business Combination) of approximately $115.5 million and an increase of indebtedness (as compared to Legacy Airspan’s balance sheet immediately prior to the Business Combination) of $40.7 million as a result of the issuance of the Convertible Notes. Total non-recurring transaction costs are approximately $27.0 million.

 

32

 

 

As a majority of Legacy Airspan’s current management team and business operations comprise our management and operations, we will need to implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect we will incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.

 

Convertible Notes

 

On July 30, 2021, we entered into the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, on August 13, 2021, we issued $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 7.0% per annum (the “Base Rate”), payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on September 30, 2021. Under certain circumstances, a default interest will apply following an event of default under the Convertible Notes at a per annum rate equal to the lower of (i) the Base Rate plus 3.75% and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 30, 2024, unless earlier accelerated, converted, redeemed or repurchased.

 

The Convertible Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, are convertible, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the payment in full of the principal amount thereof (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon), into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $12.50 per share. The conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits and subdivisions, stock and other dividends and distributions, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations and other similar changes in capital structure. The conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes is also subject to a broad-based weighted average anti-dilution adjustment in the event we issue, or are deemed to have issued, shares of Common Stock, other than certain excepted issuances, at a price below the conversion price then in effect.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

The spread of COVID-19, a novel strain of coronavirus, has and continues to alter the behavior of business and people in a manner that is having negative effects on local, regional and global economies. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact with short-term disruptions on our supply chains, as governments take robust actions to minimize the spread of localized COVID-19 outbreaks. The continued impact on our supply chains has caused delayed production and fulfilment of customer orders, disruptions and delays of logistics and increased logistic costs. As a further consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, component lead times have extended as demand outstrips supply on certain components, including semiconductors, and have caused the costs of components to increase. These extended lead times have caused us to extend our forecast horizon with our contract manufacturing partners and have increased the risk of supply delays. We cannot at this time accurately predict what effects, or their extent, the coronavirus outbreak will have on the remainder of our 2021 and 2022 operating results, due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, component shortages and increased component costs, the length of voluntary business closures, and governmental actions taken in response to the outbreak. More generally, the widespread health crisis has and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our products and therefore impact our results of operations and financial condition.   

 

Further quantification of these pandemic effects, to the extent relevant and material, are included in the discussion of results of operations below.

 

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

 

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider a variety of performance and financial measures. The key indicators of the financial condition and operating performance of our business are revenue, cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, interest expense, income taxes and net income. To further help us assess our performance with these key indicators, we use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and expanded insight to measure our revenue and cost performance as a supplement to our GAAP consolidated financial statements. See the “Adjusted EBITDA” sections below for a reconciliation to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Revenues

 

We derive the majority of our revenues from sales of our networking products, with the remaining revenue generated from software licenses and service fees relating to non-recurring engineering, product maintenance contracts and professional services for our products. We sell our products and services to end customers, distributors and resellers. Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages.

 

Our top three customers accounted for 60.4% and 63.0% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our top three customers accounted for 59.6% and 64.2%, respectively.

 

Our sales outside the U.S. and North America accounted for 73.2% and 68.1% of our total revenue in three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 70.3% and 67.3% of our total revenue in nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table identifies the percentage of our revenue by customer geographic region in the periods identified.

Latin America and the Caribbean   3.3%   3.7%   3.9%   3.3%
Total revenue   100%   100%   100%   100%

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues consists of component and material costs, direct labor costs, warranty costs, royalties, overhead related to manufacture of our products and customer support costs. Our gross margin is affected by changes in our product mix both because our gross margin on software and services is higher than the gross margin on base station related equipment, and because our different product lines generate different margins. In addition, our gross margin is affected by changes in the average selling price of our systems and volume discounts granted to significant customers. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact with disruptions to our supply chains, which have caused extended component lead times, increased component costs, as well as disruption and increased expenses in logistics. We expect the average selling prices of our existing products to continue to decline and we intend to continue to implement product cost reductions and develop and introduce new products or product enhancements in an effort to maintain or increase our gross margins. Further, we may derive an increasing proportion of our revenue from the sale of our integrated systems through distribution channels. Revenue derived from these sales channels typically carries a lower gross margin than direct sales.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel and expenses for design, development, testing facilities and equipment depreciation. These expenses also include costs associated with product development efforts, including consulting fees and prototyping costs from initial product concept to manufacture and production as well as sub-contracted development work. We expect to continue to make substantial investments in research and development.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries and related costs for personnel, sales commissions, consulting and agent’s fees and expenses for advertising, travel, technical assistance, trade shows, and promotional and demonstration materials. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenditures related to sales and marketing activities.

 

34

 

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for our personnel, audit, professional and consulting fees and facilities costs.

 

Non-Operating Expenses

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

Interest expense consists primarily of interest associated with our senior secured credit facility, which consisted of a term loan and revolving credit facility, the Convertible Notes and two subordinated loan facilities. Interest on the term loan was determined based on the highest of the LIBOR Rate, commercial lending rate of the collateral agent and federal funds rate, plus an applicable margin. Interest on the revolving credit facility is based on the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin. On December 30, 2020 we amended and restated the terms of our credit facility with Fortress. (See Note 9 of the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion on this agreement.)

 

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

 

Our provision for income tax (expense) benefit includes the expected benefit of all deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards. Our net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2025 and continue to expire through 2037. Our tax (expense) benefit has been impacted by non-deductible expenses, including equity compensation and research and development amortization.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss is determined by subtracting operating and non-operating expenses from revenues.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes, and also adjusted to add back share-based compensation costs, changes in the fair value of the warrant liability and embedded derivatives and one-time costs related to the Business Combination, as these costs are not considered a part of our core business operations and are not an indicator of ongoing, future company performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance, both internally and as compared to our peers, because these measures exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely among companies within our industry. For example, share-based compensation costs can be subject to volatility from changes in the market price per share of our Common Stock or variations in the value and number of shares granted.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the financial performance of our business because it excludes, among other things, the effects of certain transactions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments.

 

We present this non-GAAP financial measure because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results by focusing on our core operating results and is useful to evaluate our performance in conjunction with our GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or earnings per share, as a measure of operating performance, cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP measures.

 

In particular, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to certain limitations, including the following:

 

  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments under the Fortress Credit Agreement;

 

35

 

 

  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax provision (benefit), and because the payment of taxes is part of our operations, tax provision is a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;

 

  Although depreciation and amortization are eliminated in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any costs of such replacements;

 

  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the noncash component of share-based compensation;

 

  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of our ongoing operations; and

 

  Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

We adjust for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.

 

Segments

 

Our business is organized around one reportable segment, the development and supply of broadband wireless products and technologies. This is based on the objectives of the business and how our chief operating decision maker, the President and Chief Executive Officer, monitors operating performance and allocates resources.

Total revenues  $38,923    100.0%  $36,038    100.0%

 

Revenue from products and software licenses of $32.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $7.2 million from $25.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to increases in sales of products to one customer in Asia Pacific of $3.4 million, sales of products to one customer in Africa and the Middle East of $2.1 million and sales of products to two customers in the U.S. of $1.8 million.

 

Revenue from maintenance, warranty and services of $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $4.3 million from $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the termination of a maintenance agreement with a North American customer which generated revenue of $2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and other service revenue decreased by $1.7 million due to successful completion of projects in the three months ended September 30, 2020 not replicated in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Cost of revenues from products and software licenses of $21.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $3.7 million from $17.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to revenue growth, offset by an increase in indirect costs caused by the worldwide shortage of electronics, component costs and expediting fees and limited availability of cargo space.

 

Cost of revenues from maintenance, warranty and services of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $0.5 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to lower revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Research and development— Research and development expenses were $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $4.3 million from $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the MIP payout of $1.8 million, increased headcount-related expenses of $1.5 million and increased patent fee provision of $1.0 million.

 

Sales and marketing— Sales and marketing expenses were $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $3.2 million from $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to the MIP payout of $3.3 million.

  

General and administrative— General and administrative expenses of $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $15.3 million from $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the MIP payout of $13.4 million, increased director and officer insurance and other public company expenses of $0.6 million, increased professional and legal fees of $0.7 million, an increase in headcount and related costs of $0.3 million and increased facility costs of $0.3 million.

 

Amortization of intangibles— Amortization of intangibles of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $0.3 million from $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to the amortization of trademarks completing.

 

Non-Operating Expenses

 

Interest expense, net— Interest expense, net was $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $2.1 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates under the Fortress Credit Agreement and Convertible Notes, compared to the PWB Facility in place for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Other (expense) income, net— Other (expense) income, net was income of $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a difference of $8.2 million from an expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The difference was primarily due to $7.7 million in gains on changes to the fair value of the warrant and derivative fair values offset by $0.2 million in foreign currency losses.

 

Income tax expense— Income tax expense was $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

  

Net Loss

Revenue from products and software licenses of $106.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $46.0 million from $60.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to increase in sales of products in Asia Pacific of $26.3 million, primarily to two customers, and growth in distribution sales in the North American market of $13.6 million, while Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Europe accounted for $2.6 million, $2.3 million and $1.0 million respectively.

 

Revenue from maintenance, warranty and services of $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $10.5 million from $30.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the termination of a maintenance and features agreement with a North American customer at the end of the first quarter of 2021 resulted in revenue of $6.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that did not recur in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and successful completion of time and materials projects in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 which resulted in revenue of $2.9 million for an Asia Pacific customer and $1.4 million for a European group that did not recur in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Cost of revenues from products and software licenses of $66.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $25.4 million from $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to revenue growth which was impacted by a change in product mix, with most of the growth relating to product sales, which carry lower margins than services. In addition, there has been an increase in indirect costs caused by the worldwide shortage of electronics, component costs and expediting fees and limited availability of cargo space.

 

Cost of revenues from maintenance, warranty and services of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $0.4 million from $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which is attributable to a decrease in revenues from maintenance.

The increase was primarily due to increased headcount expenses of $5.2 million, the MIP payout of $1.8 million, an increased patent fee provision of $1.0 million and $0.4 million of other increased costs.

 

Sales and marketing— Sales and marketing expenses were $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $3.7 million from $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was the result of the MIP payout of $3.3 million and $0.4 million of other increased costs.

  

General and administrative— General and administrative expenses of $28.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $16.2 million from $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the MIP payout of $13.4 million, increased legal and professional fees of $1.4 million, increased director and officer insurance and other public company expenses of $0.6 million, $0.4 million of additional share-based compensation and an increase in other costs of $0.4 million.

 

Amortization of intangibles— Amortization of intangibles of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $0.5 million from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to the amortization of trademarks completing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations, proceeds from the issuance of long term debt, preferred and common stock, and the sale of certain receivables. Our capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including sales, the extent of our spending on research and development, expansion of sales and marketing activities and market adoption of our products and services.

 

We had $164.4 million of current assets and $68.6 million of current liabilities at September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used $45.3 million in cash flows from operating activities, primarily from the collection of our outstanding accounts receivables. We are investing heavily in 5G research and development and expect to use cash from operations during the remainder of 2021 to fund research and development activities. Cash on hand and the available borrowing capacity under the Fortress Credit Agreement may not allow us to meet our forecasted cash requirements.

 

Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) is a measurement of the time it takes to collect receivables. DSO is calculated by dividing accounts receivable, net as of the end of the quarter by the average daily revenue for the quarter. Average daily revenue for the quarter is calculated by dividing the quarterly revenue by ninety days. All customer accounts are actively managed, and no losses in excess of amounts reserved are currently expected. We are also actively evaluating the potential negative impact of COVID-19 on our customers’ ability to pay our accounts receivable. DSO can fluctuate due to the timing and nature of contracts, as well as the payment terms of individual customers. DSO was 124 days and 79 days as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in DSO as of September 30, 2021 is attributable to an increase in the balance of contract assets and higher sales to customers with longer average payment terms. Notwithstanding the DSO of 79 days as of December 31, 2020, our accounts receivable were $71.6 million due to high sales volumes in the fourth quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2021, our accounts receivable were $53.4 million.

During 2020, we and four of our wholly owned subsidiaries had the PWB Facility with PWB and Ally. Under the PWB Facility, we could borrow up to $45 million, subject to compliance with certain covenants. (See Note 7 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.) In addition to the PWB Facility, we had an aggregate of $39.0 million of subordinated debt with two other lenders. (See Notes 8 and 9 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.)

 

During 2020, we entered into several amendments to the PWB Facility. These amendments modified the financial and funding covenants and extended the due date for the audited consolidated financial statements. The PWB Facility was extended to mature on December 31, 2020. On December 30, 2020, Fortress and certain other lenders purchased the outstanding indebtedness under the PWB Facility. Fortress replaced PWB as administrative agent and collateral agent under the facility. On the same date, Fortress, the other lenders party thereto, Legacy Airspan and certain of its subsidiaries modified the terms of such indebtedness by amending and restating the existing credit agreement, including an extension of the maturity date.

 

On August 6, 2015, we issued Golden Wayford Limited the $10.0 million subordinated Golden Wayford Note pursuant to the subordinated convertible purchase agreement, also dated August 6, 2015. The Golden Wayford Note, in the amount of $9.0 million plus interest, matured on September 30, 2020. We were not able to agree to an extended maturity date and the Golden Wayford Note remained outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and in default under the terms of the arrangement. We were granted a limited waiver under the Fortress Credit Agreement which waives each actual and prospective default and event of default existing under the Fortress Credit Agreement directly as a result of the non-payment of the Golden Wayford Note for so long as the Golden Wayford Note remains in effect. The waiver is limited to the actual and prospective defaults under the Fortress Credit Agreement as they existed on December 30, 2020 and not to any other change in facts or circumstances occurring after December 30, 2020. The waiver does not restrict Fortress from exercising any rights or remedies they may have with respect to any other default or event of default under the Fortress Credit Agreement or the related loan documents.

 

On December 30, 2020, Legacy Airspan and each of our subsidiaries (other than Dense Air Limited or any of its subsidiaries) as guarantors, entered into the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress. At Closing, on August 13, 2021, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of our subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into a Waiver and Consent, Second Amendment, Restatement, Joinder and Omnibus Amendment to Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents relating to the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress to, among other things, add the Company as a guarantor, recognize and account for the Business Combination, recognize and account for the Convertible Notes and provide updated procedures for replacement of LIBOR. As of September 30, 2021, we were not in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement; however, we were granted a waiver from compliance for these covenants as of September 30, 2021 and prospectively for December 31, 2021. See Note 7 and Note 9 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for further discussion on this agreement.

 

On August 13, 2021, we closed the Business Combination. In connection with the Closing, we issued 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors, at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate consideration of $75.0 million, and $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. As of September 30, 2021, we were not in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement; however, we were granted a waiver from compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2021 and prospectively for December 31, 2021. See Note 10 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this agreement.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had commitments with its main subcontract manufacturers under various purchase orders and forecast arrangements of $86.9 million, the majority of which have expected delivery dates during the next six months.

 

As of the date of this report, we believe our existing cash resources are sufficient to fund the cash needs of our business for at least the next 12 months.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $45.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $29.8 million from net cash used in operating activities of $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is a result of $2.3 million less generated from working capital, $16.9 million less from results of our operations and a $10.6 million decrease in non-cash adjustments.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $3.1 million from $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to higher purchases of property and equipment.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $116.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This included $115.5 of net proceeds from the Business Combination, $0.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of Legacy Airspan Series H senior preferred stock, $0.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of Legacy Airspan Series H warrants and $78 thousand of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $23.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This included $2.1 million from borrowings under long-term debt and $21.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of Legacy Airspan Series G senior preferred stock offset by $0.2 million of net repayments under a line of credit.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates  

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the effectiveness of our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible assets, net, impairment of long-lived assets, preferred stock warrants, share-based compensation and income taxes.

 

We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and may change as future events occur.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies are dependent on significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We derive the majority of our revenue from sales of our networking products and software licenses, with the remaining revenue generated from service fees relating to maintenance contracts, professional services and training for our products. We sell our products and services to end customers, distributors and resellers. Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages.

 

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Certain of our contracts have multiple distinct performance obligations, as the promise to transfer individual goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and the customer can benefit from these individual goods or services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which we separately sell these products. For items that are not sold separately, we estimate the stand-alone selling prices using either an expected cost-plus margin or the adjusted market assessment approach depending on the nature of the specific performance obligation.

 

43

 

 

For all of our product sales, revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when our performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment of the product. For product sales, we generally do not grant return privileges, except for defective products during the warranty period. Sales taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenues.

 

Revenue from non-recurring engineering is recognized at a point in time or over time depending on if the customer controls the asset being created or enhanced.

 

Revenue from professional service contracts primarily relates to training and other consulting arrangements performed by us for our customers. Revenues from professional services contracts provided on a time and materials basis are recognized when we have the right to invoice under the practical expedient as amounts correspond directly with the value of the services rendered to date.

 

Revenue from product maintenance contracts is recognized over time as our performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Revenue from software licenses is recognized when the software license is delivered to the customer. There are no further performance obligations once the software license is delivered to the customer.

 

Revenue related to shipping and handling activities is included in product revenues. Revenue related to the reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs are accounted for as variable consideration.

 

Intangible Assets, Net

 

Intangible assets, net includes Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and intangible assets result primarily from business combination acquisitions. Our intangible assets include internally developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill results primarily from business combination acquisitions. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible assets and other intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, rather, an impairment test is conducted on an annual basis, or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present, which are determined through a qualitative assessment. A qualitative assessment includes consideration of the economic, industry and market conditions in addition to our overall financial performance and the financial performance of these assets. If our qualitative assessment does not conclude that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value, we perform a quantitative analysis. In a quantitative test, the fair value of a reporting unit is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis and further analyzed using other methods of valuation. A discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various assumptions, including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on our long-term projections. Assumptions used in our impairment testing are consistent with our internal forecasts and operating plans. Our discount rate is based on our debt structure, adjusted for current market conditions. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If not, we compare the fair value with its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge of the reporting unit’s goodwill would be necessary. Our annual assessment date is December 31.

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

We have recorded other finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the Mimosa business combination. Our internally developed technology, customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements are amortized utilizing an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives. When establishing useful lives, we consider the period and the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up; or, if that pattern cannot be reliably determined, using a straight-line amortization method over a period that may be shorter than the ultimate life of such intangible asset. There is no residual value associated with our finite-lived intangible assets. We review our trade name assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable.

 

We review for impairment indicators of finite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets as described below in “Impairment of long-lived assets.”

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

We review our long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. This review consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the asset with the asset’s expected future undiscounted cash flows. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted future cash flows, impairment exists and is determined by the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset. Any impairment provisions recognized are permanent and may not be restored in the future. No impairment of long-lived assets was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020, as a result of our assessments.

 

Convertible Notes

 

Concurrent with the Business Combination, we issued the Convertible Notes. Refer to Notes 3 and 10 for further discussion on the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are accounted as a liability under the traditional convertible debt model and measured at amortized cost under ASC 470-20. We evaluated the guidance in ASC 815 and concluded the conversion option does not meet ASC 815-10-15-74(a) conditions as the conversion option is not considered indexed to our Common Stock. As a result the redemption feature and conversion option were bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and will be separately measured at fair value at each reporting period.

 

Common Stock Warrants and Post-Combination Warrants

 

NBA issued 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 545,000 Private Placement Warrants in connection with NBA initial public offering. The Common Stock Warrants entitle each holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of at $11.50 per share. As of September 30, 2021, 12,045,000 Common Stock Warrants are outstanding.

 

At closing of the Business Combination, we issued Post-Combination Warrants exercisable for 9,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock. The Post-Combination Warrants issued pursuant to the Post-Combination Warrant Agreement include: (i) 3,000,000 Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants; (ii) 3,000,000 Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants; and (iii) 3,000,000 Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants. As of September 30, 2021, there were 3,000,000 Post-Combination $12.50 Warrants, 3,000,000 Post-Combination $15.00 Warrants, and 3,000,000 Post-Combination $17.50 Warrants outstanding. The Post-Combination Warrants may only be exercised during the period commencing on the Closing and terminating on the earlier of (i) two years following the date of the Closing and (ii) the redemption date, for a price of $12.50 per Post-Combination $12.50 Warrant, $15.00 per Post-Combination $15.00 Warrant and $17.50 per Post-Combination $17.50 Warrant.

 

We evaluated the Common Stock Warrants and Post Combination Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Since the Common Stock Warrants and Post Combination Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, we recorded these warrants as liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the change in fair value of Common Stock Warrant liabilities within the Consolidated Statements of Operations at each reporting date.

 

Share-based compensation

 

We apply ASC 718, Share-based Payments. ASC 718 requires awards classified as equity awards to be accounted for using the estimated grant date fair value. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service periods. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations includes compensation expense for share-based awards granted based on the estimated grant date fair value. Because share-based compensation expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, share-based compensation expense has been reduced to account for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

45

 

 

We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is impacted by the following assumptions:

 

  Expected Term — Expected term is estimated based on our prior five years of historical data regarding expired, forfeited or if applicable, exercise behavior.

 

  Expected Volatility — Since we have limited historical basis for determining our own volatility, the expected volatility assumption was based on the average historical volatility of a representative peer group, which includes consideration of the peer company’s industry, market capitalization, state of life cycle and capital structure.

 

  Expected Dividend Yield — The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and our expectation of no dividend payouts.

 

  Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.

 

Income taxes

 

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, we consider tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, estimates of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.

 

ASC 740-10 requires that we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authorities. We do not have any other material uncertain tax positions. We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Refer to Note 2 of our unaudited condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this filing for further information on Accounting Pronouncements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, including guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests, certain derivative instruments and variable interest entities that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

JOBS Act

 

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

46

 

 

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act.  Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of NBA’s initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our Initial Public Offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) when we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest on the senior term loan under the Fortress Credit Agreement, commencing December 30, 2020, is determined by reference to either LIBOR or a “base rate”, in each case, plus an applicable margin, based on the respective level of our Net EBITDA Leverage Ratio.

 

The interest rate for Tranche 1 (the initial term loan) under the Fortress Credit Agreement is based on the level of our Net EBITDA Leverage Ratio. The initial applicable rate for Tranche 1 is set at Level V – which is the base rate plus 10.0% per annum, of which the margin cash component is 5.5% and the margin PIK component is 4.5%. With respect to Tranche 2, the relevant applicable rate is 5.0% and is payable monthly as interest paid in kind. (See Note 9 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.)

 

Because interest expense is subject to fluctuation, if interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on such variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would adversely affect our profitability. Due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, market interest rates have declined significantly, with the 30-day LIBOR rate remaining constant at 0.9% as of September 30, 2021. We cannot predict, however, whether or for how long interest rates will remain at these low levels.

 

During 2020, the interest rates charged under the PWB Facility ranged as follows:

 

  revolving facility: from 6.0% to 7.0%;

 

  term loan: from 7.75% to 8.75%; and

 

  non-formula loan: from 6.0% to 8.75%.

 

During the first nine months of 2021, the interest rates charged under the Fortress Credit Agreement remained constant at:

 

  Tranche 1: 11.5%; and

 

  Tranche 2: 5.0%

 

47

 

 

On July 30, 2021, we entered into the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, pursuant to which we issued $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The stated rate of interest is 7% on the Convertible Notes, payable quarterly. See Note 10 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

   2021   2020   2021   2020

Other   3.3%   2.1%   2.6%   3.1%
    100%   100%   100%   100%

 

Total Japanese yen denominated sales for the periods presented were:

   2021   2020   2021   2020 
Japanese yen   JPY 942,552    JPY 999,069    JPY 4,604,881    JPY 2,632,998 
Average exchange rate of $1 U.S. = JPY   110.02    104.61    107.38    105.51 
U.S. dollar equivalent  $8,567   $9,551   $42,884   $24,955 
If the average exchange rates used had been higher or lower by 10%, they would have decreased or increased the total Japanese yen denominated sale value by:  $779   $868   $3,898   $2,269 

 

We expect the proportions of sales in Japanese yen to fluctuate over time although they were a small percentage of the total in all years. Our sensitivity analysis for changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in changes in sales volumes.

 

Our operating results are affected by movements in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, particularly the U.K. pound sterling and Israeli shekel. This is because most of our operating expenses, which may fluctuate over time, are incurred in pounds sterling or Israeli shekels.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we paid operating expenses in local currency of approximately 16 million pounds sterling (approximately $23 million) and 10 million pounds sterling (approximately $13 million), respectively. If during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 the average exchange rates had been higher or lower by 10%, the pound sterling denominated operating expenses would have decreased or increased by $3 million and $1 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. None of these expenses were hedged.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we paid operating expenses in local currency of approximately 115 million Israeli shekel (approximately $35 million) and 107 million Israeli shekel (approximately $31 million), respectively. If during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 the average exchange rates had been higher or lower by 10%, the Israeli shekel denominated operating expenses would have decreased or increased by $4 million and $3 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. None of these expenses were hedged.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

  

Previously Reported Material Weakness

 

In light of the SEC’s Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, promulgated on April 12, 2021, New Beginnings Acquisition Corp. reported a material weakness due to the failure of its disclosure controls and procedures to initially identify, evaluate and record properly its warrants, as described in its Form 10-K/A filed May 14, 2021.

 

48

 

 

In addition, in connection with Legacy Airspan’s financial statement close process for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, a material weakness was identified occurred because (i) Legacy Airspan had inadequate processes and controls to ensure an appropriate level of precision related to its financial statement footnote disclosures, and (ii) Legacy Airspan did not have sufficient resources with the adequate technical skills to meet the emerging needs of its financial reporting requirements.

 

Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of our board of directors (the “Board”),and the Board is in the process of implementing a remediation plan for this material weakness, including, among other things, hiring additional accounting personnel and implementing process level and management review controls to ensure financial statement disclosures are complete and accurate and to identify and address emerging risks.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses discussed above, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than our remediation efforts described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended of September 30, 2021 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Reference is made to Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q for information regarding certain litigation to which we are a party.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or our registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) as filed with the SEC on September 10, 2021, or under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus as filed with the SEC on September 20, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3), which is incorporated herein by reference. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

 

Other than the additional risk factor detailed below, there have been no material changes to our principal risks that we believe are material to our business, results of operations and financial condition, from the risk factors previously disclosed in the prospectus mentioned above which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

The inability of our supply chain to deliver certain key components could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our products contain a significant number of components that we source globally, including from Vietnam and Malaysia. If our supply chain fails to deliver products to us in sufficient quality and quantity on a timely basis, we will be challenged to meet our customer order delivery timelines and could incur significant additional expenses for expedited freight and other related costs. Our supply chain has been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted by events outside of our control, including macroeconomic events, trade restrictions, economic recessions or natural occurrences, such as the ongoing disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of COVID-19, we have experienced delays in supply chain deliveries, extended lead times and shortages of key components, some raw material cost increases and slowdowns at certain production facilities. These disruptions have delayed and may continue to delay the timing of some orders and expected deliveries of our products. Certain of our customer contracts contain penalties for late or incomplete deliveries. These supply chain disruptions and delays may, in turn, cause us to be unable to make timely or complete deliveries to our customers, which may expose us to those penalties. Further, supply chain disruptions could result in longer lead times, inventory supply challenges and further increased costs, which could harm our ability to compete for future business. Accordingly, we remain subject to significant risks of supply chain disruptions or shortages, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

 

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

 

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the PIPE Investors entered into certain subscription agreements, pursuant to which such investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $75,000,000. At the Closing, we consummated the sale of such shares.

 

On July 30, 2021, we entered into the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, pursuant to which, on August 13, 2021, in connection with the Closing, we issued $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, which are convertible into shares of our Common Stock.

 

We issued the securities in the foregoing transactions under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as a transaction not requiring registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act. The parties receiving the securities represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution, and appropriate restrictive legends were affixed to the certificates representing the securities (or reflected in restricted book entry with our transfer agent). The parties also had adequate access, through business or other relationships, to information about us.
