NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. BUSINESS

  

On August 13, 2021 (the “Closing”), Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. (formerly New Beginnings Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) consummated a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated March 8, 2021, by and among the Company, Artemis Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Airspan Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Airspan”). 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 the 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 and Long-Term Evolution, 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; 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.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated 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 stockholders’ 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, 2021.

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.

 

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.

  

The Company had $118.8 million of current assets and $72.8 million of current liabilities as of June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used $22.5 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 2022 and through the first half of 2023. Cash on hand and borrowing capacity under our Assignment Agreement, Resignation and Assignment Agreement and Credit Agreement (the “Fortress Credit Agreement”) with DBFIP ANI LLC (“Fortress”) (see Notes 7 and 9) may not allow the Company to reasonably expect to meet its forecasted cash requirements.

 

Certain covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes may not be met as of or during the quarter ending September 30, 2022. See further discussion in Notes 9 and 10.

 

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 condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company’s senior term loan and convertible debt require certain prospective financial covenants to be met. Based on management’s current forecast, absent of additional financing or capital raising, the Company has concluded it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with certain of those financial covenants during certain periods of the next twelve months. Given the continued uncertainty in the global markets, in the event that the Company is unable to achieve these prospective financial covenants, the Company’s senior term loan (see Note 9) and senior secured convertible notes (see Note 10) could become due prior to the maturity date. In addition, the Company’s subordinated loan (see Note 8) and subordinated debt (see Note 7) could become due prior to the maturity date due to cross default provisions contained within those instruments.

 

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, 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;

 

  focusing the Company’s efforts to factor receivables to provide additional liquidity; and
     
  continuing to implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce non-strategic costs in operations and expand the Company’s labor force in lower cost geographies, with headcount reductions in higher cost geographies.

 

There can be no assurance that the above actions will be successful. Without additional financing or capital, the Company’s current cash balance would be insufficient to satisfy repayment demands from its lenders if the Company does not meet the prospective financial covenants and the lenders elect to declare the senior term loan and the senior secured convertible notes due prior to the maturity date. There is no assurance that the new or renegotiated financing will be available, or that if available, will have satisfactory terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 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. The Company cannot at this time accurately predict what effects, or their extent, the coronavirus outbreak will have on the remainder of its 2022 operating results, due to uncertainties relating to the 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.

 

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 50.7% and 70.8% of product sales were to non-U.S. customers for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and approximately 57.9% and 69.6% of product sales were to non-U.S. customers for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Two customers accounted for $24.5 million, or 50.9%, of the net accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2022 and three customers accounted for $23.7 million, or 58.2% of the net accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2021. 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 three customers accounted for 70% and 59% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 68% and 59% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had two customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the three-month period’s total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had three customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the six-month period’s total revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had two customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of the three and six month period’s total revenue.

 

The Company received 94.3% and 92.8% of goods for resale from five suppliers in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company received 91.1% and 97.6% of goods for resale from five suppliers in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 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 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, “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 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2022, and it did not 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 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 must be adopted by the Company no later than December 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (amended by ASU 2019-10), “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, regarding the measurement of credit losses for certain financial instruments.” which replaces the incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts to conform with current-year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net loss or cash flows from operations.

 

3. 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 (the “PIPE” or “PIPE Financing”) of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) 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, 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”), 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 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”). 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 Legacy 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, New Beginnings 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”). 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 a 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 provided that 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 were locked-up for a period of six months following the Closing, while 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 comprised 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 comprised 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 sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

PIPE Financing

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, 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 Closing 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.

 

At Closing, each Convertible Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, was 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 Promissory Note (the “Golden Wayford Note”) pursuant to a Subordinated Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. 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.

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.

 

The Golden Wayford Note is subordinate to the obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement (see Note 9). 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. The Company had subordinated debt outstanding of $9.0 million, plus $1.8 million and $1.6 million of accrued interest as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

See Notes 9 and 10 for a discussion of potential financial covenant breaches which would cause the subordinated debt to be classified as a current liability.

 

8. SUBORDINATED TERM LOAN – RELATED PARTY

 

On February 9, 2016, Legacy Airspan entered into a $15.0 million subordinated term loan agreement with a related party (the “Subordinated Term Loan Agreement”) that was due to mature on February 9, 2018. On July 12, 2016, Legacy Airspan entered into an additional $15.0 million Amendment No. 1 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that was due to mature on February 9, 2018. On July 3, 2017, Legacy Airspan entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that extended the maturity date to June 30, 2019. On May 23, 2019, Legacy Airspan entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that extended the maturity date to December 31, 2020. On March 30, 2020, Legacy Airspan entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that extended the maturity date to December 31, 2021. On December 30, 2020, Legacy Airspan entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement that extended the maturity date to the later of (a) December 30, 2024 and (b) 365 days after the maturity date of the Fortress Credit Agreement (as in effect on December 30, 2020) (see Note 9). The term loan is subordinate to the Fortress Credit Agreement (see Note 9).

 

Prior to May 23, 2019, interest accrued at 2.475% per annum and was payable quarterly. In accordance with the amendments below, the interest rate changed as follows:

 

  (a) Amendment No. 3, on May 23, 2019, the interest rate changed to 9.0% per annum to be accrued;

 

  (b) Amendment No. 4, on March 30, 2020, the interest rate changed to 9.0% per annum through December 31, 2020 and from and after January 1, 2021, at a rate of 12.0% per annum to be accrued; and

 

  (c) Amendment No. 5, on December 30, 2020, the interest rate from January 1, 2021 and thereafter changed to 9.0% per annum to be accrued, subject to reversion to 12.0% if a condition subsequent is not satisfied. The subsequent condition was satisfied.

 

The principal and accrued interest may be repaid early without penalty.

 

The Company had a subordinated term loan outstanding of $30.0 million, plus $9.7 million and $8.0 million of accrued interest as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

See Notes 9 and 10 for a discussion of potential financial covenant breaches which would cause the subordinated term loan to be classified as a current liability.

9. SENIOR TERM LOAN

 

On December 30, 2020, Legacy Airspan, together with Holdco, Airspan Networks (SG) Inc., Mimosa Networks, Inc., Mimosa Networks International, LLC, Airspan Communications Limited, Airspan Networks LTD, and Airspan Japan K.K., as guarantors, together with the other parties thereto, entered into an assignment agreement, whereby Pacific Western Bank (“PWB”) and Ally Bank 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 (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 Fortress became the successor agent (as defined in the Agent Resignation Agreement), replacing PWB in such capacity under the PWB Facility. The Assignment Agreement and the Agent Resignation Agreement, along with a Reaffirmation and Omnibus Amendment, resulted in the amendment and restatement of the terms of the PWB Facility and the Fortress Credit Agreement with the new lenders as the lenders thereunder. Fortress became the administrative agent, collateral agent and trustee for the lenders and other secured parties. At Closing, on August 13, 2021, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of the Company’s 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 (the “August 2021 Fortress Amendment”) to, among other things, add the Company as a guarantor, recognize and account for the Business Combination, recognize and account for the Convertible Notes (see Note 10) and provide updated procedures for replacement of LIBOR. On March 29, 2022, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into a Third Amendment and Waiver to Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents relating to the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress to, among other things, amend the financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement.

 

The Fortress Credit Agreement initial term loan total commitment of $34.0 million and a term loan commitment of $10.0 million were both funded to Legacy Airspan on December 30, 2020. Pursuant to the Fortress Credit Agreement, the Company may expand the term loan commitment by $20.0 million subject to the terms and conditions of the Fortress Credit Agreement. The maturity date of the total loan commitment is December 30, 2024. The Fortress Credit Agreement contains a prepayment premium of 5.0% if the prepayment occurs during the period from December 30, 2021 through December 29, 2022, and 3.0% if the prepayment occurs during the period from December 30, 2022 through December 29, 2023. The Fortress Credit Agreement also contained a prohibition on prepayment during the period from December 30, 2020 through December 29, 2021. Subsequent to December 29, 2021, the Company may prepay this loan but will incur a related fee in the amount of a make-whole amount of interest that would have been payable had such prepayment not been made.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement.

 

Based on management’s current forecast, the Company has concluded that it is probable that it will not be in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement as of the September 30, 2022 quarterly measurement date. Under the terms of the Fortress Credit Agreement, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the Company’s EBITDA for the preceding twelve months may not be less than the applicable minimum established in the Fortress Credit Agreement. For the last day of the next four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, the applicable minimum twelve-month EBITDA under the Fortress Credit Agreement ranges from a loss of $23.0 million to a loss of $42.0 million.

 

In addition, based on management’s current forecast, absent of additional financing or capital raising, the Company has concluded it is also probable that it will not be in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement during certain periods of the next twelve months. Under the terms of the Fortress Credit Agreement, the Company is required at all times to maintain minimum liquidity of between $15.0 million and $20.0 million, depending on EBITDA performance levels and whether a default or event of default exists under the Fortress Credit Agreement.

 

16

 

 

While the Company intends to seek waivers from compliance with the applicable covenants in connection with such anticipated breaches, or amendments of the existing financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement, the Company is also pursuing alternative sources of capital. In the event the Company is not in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022, and the Company is unable to obtain waivers from compliance with such covenants or otherwise remedy such breaches, the Company expects to classify its senior term loan, convertible debt, subordinated term loan and subordinated debt as current liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

 

The Company’s senior term loan balance was $45.5 million and $46.8 million, inclusive of accrued interest of $3.7 million and $2.5 million, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Deferred financing fees of $4.5 million and $5.9 million are reflected as reductions of the outstanding senior term loan balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

10. CONVERTIBLE DEBT

 

On August 13, 2021, the Company, together with Legacy Airspan, Holdco, Airspan Networks (SG) Inc., Mimosa Networks, Inc., Mimosa Networks International, LLC, Airspan Communications Limited, Airspan Networks LTD, and Airspan Japan K.K., as guarantors, and Fortress, entered into a Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “Fortress Convertible Note Agreement”), in order to meet the available cash requirement of the reverse recapitalization described in Note 3. Pursuant to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, $50.0 million was funded to the Company in exchange for the issuance of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes on August 13, 2021, the date of the reverse recapitalization. The Convertible Notes bear interest at 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. The Convertible Notes will mature on December 30, 2024, unless earlier accelerated, converted, redeemed or repurchased. 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 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.

 

On March 29, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement entered into a First Amendment and Waiver to Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement and Other Note Documents relating to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement and the Convertible Notes (the “Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment”) to, among other things, amend the financial covenants included in the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, amend the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and amend the optional redemption provisions of the Convertible Notes.

 

Prior to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, the Convertible Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, were 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. Pursuant to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes was decreased to $8.00 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 the Company issues, or is deemed to have issued, shares of Common Stock, other than certain excepted issuances, at a price below the conversion price then in effect. In addition, pursuant to the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, if, during the period commencing on and including the date of the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment and ending on and including the 15-month anniversary of the date of the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment, there is no 30 consecutive trading day-period during which the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock (“Daily VWAP”) for such 30 consecutive trading day-period (after excluding the three highest and the three lowest Daily VWAPs during such period) equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, dividends, distributions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes will be reduced to the amount that such conversion price would otherwise have been had the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes been $6.00 on the date of the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement Amendment.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement.

 

Based on management’s current forecast, the Company has concluded that it is probable that it will not be in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month EBITDA covenant under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement as of the September 30, 2022 quarterly measurement date. Under the terms of the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the Company’s EBITDA for the preceding twelve months may not be less than the applicable minimum established in the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement. For the last day of the next four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, the applicable minimum twelve-month EBITDA under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement ranges from a loss of $23.0 million to a loss of $42.0 million.

 

In addition, based on management’s current forecast, absent of additional financing or capital raising, the Company has concluded it is also probable that it will not be in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement during certain periods of the next twelve months. Under the terms of the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, the Company is required at all times to maintain minimum liquidity of between $15.0 million and $20.0 million, depending on EBITDA performance levels and whether a default or event of default exists under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement.

11. 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.

 

18

 

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company does not have any non-financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

 

Financial Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The table below sets forth information related to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial instruments (in thousands):

  (a) As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the subordinated term loan, subordinated debt and senior term loan considered the senior status of the senior term loan under the Fortress Credit Agreement, followed by the junior status of the subordinated term loan and subordinated debt. The implied yields of the subordinated term loan, subordinated debt and senior term loan were 21.53%, 21.83% and 17.8%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022 and 17.16%, 16.83% and 13.8%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

 

  (b) As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 as of June 30, 2022 were as follows:

 

Schedule of assumptions          
   Post- Combination Warrants   Private Placement Warrants 
Assumptions:          
Stock price  $2.99   $2.99 
Exercise price  $12.50 – 17.50   $11.50 
Risk free rate   2.78%   2.96%
Expected volatility   81.2%   45.2%
Dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%

 

19

 

 

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 the issuance date and as of the June 30, 2022 reporting date. The key inputs to the valuation models that were utilized to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative liabilities include:

 

Schedule of assumptions          
   June 30,
2022
   Issuance Date 
Assumptions:          
Stock price  $2.99   $9.75 
Conversion strike price  $8.00   $12.50 
Volatility   59.00%   25.00%
Dividend yield   0.00%   0.00%
Risk free rate   2.91%   0.51%
Debt discount rate   17.80%   12.80%
Coupon interest rate   7.00%   7.00%
Face amount (in thousands)  $50,000   $50,000 
Contingent put inputs and assumptions:          
Probability of fundamental change   25.00%   25.00%

 

The following table presents a roll-forward of the Level 3 instruments:

 

Schedule of warrants               
(in thousands)  Warrants   Conversion option derivative   Call and contingent put derivative 
             
Beginning balance, December 31, 2021  $1,317   $1,343   $1,651 
Change in fair value   (818)   4,570    (559)
Ending balance, June 30, 2022  $499   $5,913   $1,092 

 

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

  

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company had commitments with its main subcontract manufacturers under various purchase orders and forecast arrangements of $51.6 million as of June 30, 2022, the majority of which have expected delivery dates during the remainder of 2022.

 

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”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas 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 disputes Sprint’s indemnity demand and, on March 15, 2022, filed a complaint for breach of contract in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. See Airspan Networks, Inc. v. Sprint/United Management Company, Case No. 2:22-cv-02104-JAR-ADM (D. Kan.). That complaint was subsequently voluntarily dismissed by the Company and the underlying breach of contract claim is now a counterclaim in the matter captioned Sprint Communications Company, L.P et al. vs. Casa Systems, Inc. et al.,  No. 22CV02327 Div.7 pending in the District Court of Johnson County Kansas.

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.

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.

 

14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

2021 Stock Incentive Plan

 

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company maintained its 2009 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan” and together with the 2021 Plan, the “Plans”). Upon Closing of the Business Combination, awards under the 2009 Plan were converted at the exchange ratio calculated in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and the 2021 Plan became effective. On June 21, 2022, the 2021 Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan by 5,643,450 shares. As of June 30, 2022, there were 11,651,168 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the amended and restated 2021 Plan, plus any shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the 2009 Plan that are forfeited or reacquired by the Company due to termination or cancellation. As of June 30, 2022, there were 17,466,964 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plans.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As disclosed in Note 8, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Legacy Airspan had a subordinated term loan with a related party. This related party has an indirect, non-controlling beneficial interest in Fortress, which is the agent and principal lender under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the collateral agent and trustee under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement and the Convertible Notes. This related party also has an indirect, non-controlling beneficial interest in each holder of Convertible Notes. The Company derived approximately $44 thousand in revenue from sales of products and services to this related party for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company had outstanding receivables amounting to $0.4 million from this related party as of December 31, 2021. There were no amounts receivable from this related party as of June 30, 2022.

 

The Company has an outstanding receivable from and payable to a related party, a stockholder, amounting to $0.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2022. The Company had an outstanding receivable from and payable to the same related party, amounting to $0.4 million and $12.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.

 

In addition, the Company has an outstanding accounts receivable from a separate related party, also a stockholder, amounting to $9.1 million and $11.5 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company derived approximately $4.5 million and $8.7 million in revenue from sales of products and services to this related party for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A senior executive at this customer is also a member of the Board.

 

The Company derived revenues from sales of products and services to Dense Air Ltd. (“Dense Air”) amounting to approximately $52 thousand for the period from January 1, 2022 through March 7, 2022 and $1.0 million for both of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As of March 7, 2022, Dense Air ceased to be a related party.

 

17. EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT

 

The Company previously accounted for its investment in Dense Air, which prior to March 7, 2022, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as an equity method investment. On March 7, 2022, the outstanding amount of Dense Air’s loan was converted into shares equating to 95% of the share capital of Dense Air. This conversion did not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows.

 

The investment had no carrying value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 New Beginnings’ initial public offering exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of New Beginnings’ trust account, which was approximately $10.10 per share, or an aggregate redemption payment of $101.0 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 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 is treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes and the Business Combination is 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 are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy Airspan.

 

27

 

 

The most significant change in our 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 were approximately $27.0 million as a result of the Business Combination.

 

As a majority of Legacy Airspan’s management team and business operations comprise our management and operations, we have implemented and will need to continue to implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We have incurred and expect to continue to 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, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.

 

Convertible Notes

 

On July 30, 2021, we entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (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. On March 29, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries who are party to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement entered into a First Amendment and Waiver to Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement and Other Note Documents relating to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Note Purchase Agreement Amendment”) to, among other things, amend the financial covenants included in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, amend the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and amend the optional redemption provisions of the Convertible Notes.

 

Prior to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement Amendment, the Convertible Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, were 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. Pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement Amendment, the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes was decreased to $8.00 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. In addition, pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement Amendment, if, during the period commencing on and including the date of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement Amendment and ending on and including the 15-month anniversary of the date of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement Amendment, there is no 30 consecutive trading day-period during which the average of the daily volume weighted average price of our Common Stock (“Daily VWAP”) for such 30 consecutive trading day-period (after excluding the three highest and three lowest Daily VWAPs during such period) equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, dividends, distributions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes will be reduced to the amount that such conversion price would otherwise have been had the conversion price with respect to the Convertible Notes been $6.00 on the date of the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement Amendment.

 

March 2022 Fortress Amendment

 

On March 29, 2022, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of our subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into a Third Amendment and Waiver to Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents relating to the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress (the “March 2022 Fortress Amendment”) to, among other things, amend the financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement.

 

28

 

 

Amendment and Restatement of 2021 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On June 21, 2022, the 2021 Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan by 5,643,450 shares. As of June 30, 2022, there were 11,651,168 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the amended and restated 2021 Plan, plus any shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the 2009 Plan that are forfeited or reacquired by the Company due to termination or cancellation.

 

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 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 2022 operating results, due to uncertainties relating to the 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.

 

Cybersecurity Incidents

 

In December 2021, we experienced a ransomware incident that impacted the availability of certain systems within our computer network. In response to this incident, we secured digital assets within our computer systems, immediately commenced an investigation with assistance from an outside cybersecurity firm and were able to successfully restore our systems, without paying a ransom, after working to get the systems back up as quickly as possible. Despite these actions, we experienced some delays and disruptions to our business, primarily with respect to employee access to business applications and e-mail service. Through our investigation, we discovered that the individuals responsible for this incident acquired certain files from our servers. We are currently reviewing the content and scope of the files and we will provide notice to any individual whose personal information was contained therein.

 

In addition, in January 2022, we experienced a denial of service attack on our e-mail service. We were able to restore e-mail service after working to do so as quickly as possible.

 

In connection with these incidents, we have incurred certain incremental one-time costs of $0.1 million related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts, net of insurance recoveries, and expect to incur additional costs related to cybersecurity protections in the future. We are in the process of implementing a variety of measures to further enhance our cybersecurity protections and minimize the impact of any future attack. However, cyber threats are constantly evolving, and there can be no guarantee that a future cyber event will not occur.

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 “—Results of Operations—Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021—Adjusted EBITDA” and “—Results of Operations—Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021—Adjusted EBITDA” sections below for reconciliations to net 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 69.6% and 58.8% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had three customers and two customers, respectively, whose revenue was greater than 10% of the period’s total revenue.

 

Our sales outside the U.S. and North America accounted for 50.7% and 70.4% of our total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 57.2% and 69.0% of our total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table identifies the percentage of our revenue by customer geographic region in the periods identified.

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.

 

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 the Convertible Notes, two subordinated loan facilities and our senior secured credit facility, which consists of a term loan and delayed draw commitment. Interest on the term loan was determined based on the highest of a LIBOR rate, the commercial lending rate of the collateral agent and the federal funds rate, plus an applicable margin. Interest on the delayed draw commitment is based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin.

 

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit, Net

 

Our provision for income tax (expense) benefit, net includes the expected benefit of all deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards. Some of our net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022 and continue to expire through 2037, while others will be carried forward indefinitely until fully utilized. Our tax (expense) benefit has been impacted by non-deductible expenses, including equity compensation, research and development amortization, and research and development benefits.

 

Net Loss

 

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

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

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.

 

31

 

 

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;

 

  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 non-cash 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 Chief Executive Officer, monitors operating performance and allocates resources.

Total revenues  $46,945    100.0%  $42,048    100.0%

 

Revenue from products and software licenses of $44.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $9.2 million from $34.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to increases in sales of products to four customers in the U.S. of $14.2 million, offset by reductions in Asia Pacific of $1.8 million and other regions of $3.2 million. Two customers in North America continued the rollout of their infrastructure, which commenced in the three months ended December 31, 2021.

 

Revenue from maintenance, warranty and services of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $4.4 million from $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a high level of NRE with a North American customer in the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was not replicated in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Cost of revenues from products and software licenses of $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $5.2 million from $21.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to revenue growth and an increase in indirect costs as a result of 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 $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $0.2 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by revenue growth.

Research and development— Research and development expenses were $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.2 million from $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased headcount-related expenses of $0.9 million and increased share-based compensation of $0.9 million, offset by reductions in external materials and supplies and subcontract development costs.

 

Sales and marketing— Sales and marketing expenses were $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.5 million from $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to share-based compensation of $1.1 million and additional headcount-related expenses of $0.6 million, offset by lower agent commissions.

  

General and administrative— General and administrative expenses of $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $6.7 million from $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased share-based compensation of $4.2 million, increased director and officer insurance and other public company expenses of $1.1 million, increased headcount and related costs of $0.9 million, increased professional and legal fees of $0.3 million and an additional $0.1 million in travel and other related costs.

Amortization of intangibles— Amortization of intangibles of $0.3 million remained consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2022 in comparison to the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to the amortization of trademarks completing.

 

Non-Operating Expenses

 

Interest expense, net— Interest expense, net was $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.7 million from $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a higher average debt outstanding in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

 

Gain on extinguishment of debt – There was no gain on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Gain on extinguishment of debt was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt for a loan received under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) of $2.1 million, inclusive of the accrued interest.

 

Other income (expense), net— Other income (expense), net was income of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $2.8 million from an expense of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The difference was primarily due to $4.0 million in gains on changes to the fair value of the warrant liability and derivative fair values offset by $1.3 million in foreign currency losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Income tax benefit (expense), net — Income tax benefit (expense), net was a benefit of $0.1 million and an expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

  

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss of $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net loss of $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a change of $10.6 million due to the same factors described above.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was a loss of $12.3 million, representing a change of $6.9 million from a loss of $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the increase in net loss discussed above and certain higher adjusting items detailed in the table below.

 

The following table presents the reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

Total revenues  $84,509    100.0%  $87,983    100.0%

 

Revenue from products and software licenses of $77.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $4.1 million from $73.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to growth in sales for four customers in the North American market of $15.4 million, offset by decreases in sales of products in Asia Pacific of $6.5 million, while Latin America, Middle East and Africa, and Europe accounted for $1.7 million, $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

 

Revenue from maintenance, warranty and services of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $7.5 million from $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the high NRE revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the termination of a maintenance and features agreement with two North American customers at the end of the first quarter of 2021, which resulted in revenue of $6.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 that did not recur in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cost of revenues from products and software licenses of $51.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $6.1 million from $45.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. 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 $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $0.3 million from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

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 $118.8 million of current assets and $72.8 million of current liabilities as of June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used $22.5 million in cash flows from operating activities, primarily from the net loss offset by non-cash adjustments. We are investing heavily in 5G research and development and expect to use cash from operations during the remainder of 2022 and through the first half of 2023 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.

 

In order to address the need to satisfy our continuing obligations and realize our long-term strategy, management has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve our operating and financial results, including the following:

 

  focusing our efforts to increase sales in additional geographic markets;

 

  continuing to develop 5G product offerings that will expand the market for our products;

 

  focusing our efforts to factor receivables to provide additional liquidity; and
     
  continuing to implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce non-strategic costs in operations and expand our labor force in lower cost geographies, with headcount reductions in higher cost geographies.

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 also actively evaluate 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 93 days and 103 days as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

On August 6, 2015, we issued Golden Wayford Limited a $10.0 million subordinated Convertible Note Promissory Note (the “Golden Wayford Note”) pursuant to a subordinated convertible note purchase agreement, also dated August 6, 2015. The Golden Wayford Note, in the amount of $9.0 million plus interest, matured on June 30, 2020. We were not able to agree to an extended maturity date and the Golden Wayford Note remained outstanding as of June 30, 2022 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, we and each of our subsidiaries (other than Dense Air 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 the August 2021 Fortress Amendment 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. On March 29, 2022, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of our subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into the March 2022 Fortress Amendment to, among other things, amend the financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement. See Note 9 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report 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 June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. See Note 10 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further discussion on this agreement.

 

Based on management’s current forecast, we have concluded that it is probable that we will not be in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement as of the September 30, 2022 quarterly measurement date. Under the terms of the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, our EBITDA for the preceding twelve months may not be less than the applicable minimum established in the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. For the last day of the next four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, the applicable minimum twelve-month EBITDA under the Fortress Credit Agreement or the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement ranges from a loss of $23.0 million to a loss of $42.0 million.

 

In addition, based on management’s current forecast, absent of additional financing or capital raising, we have concluded it is also probable that we will not be in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement during certain periods of the next twelve months. Under the terms of the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, we are required at all times to maintain minimum liquidity of between $15.0 million and $20.0 million, depending on EBITDA performance levels and whether a default or event of default exists under the Fortress Credit Agreement or the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, as applicable.

While we intend to seek waivers from compliance with the applicable covenants in connection with such anticipated breaches, or amendments of the existing financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, we are also pursuing alternative sources of capital. In the event we are not in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement as of September 30, 2022, and we are unable to obtain waivers from compliance with such covenants or otherwise remedy such breaches, we expect to classify our senior term loan, convertible debt, subordinated term loan and subordinated debt as current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. In addition, if we fail to comply with all applicable covenants, including the financial covenants, under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, and we are unable to obtain waivers from compliance with such covenants or otherwise remedy such breaches, we could be in default under the terms of such agreements. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement could elect to terminate their delayed draw commitments thereunder and cease making further loans, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had commitments with our main subcontract manufacturers under various purchase orders and forecast arrangements of $51.6 million, the majority of which have expected delivery dates during the remainder of 2022.

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we believe our existing cash resources are sufficient to fund the cash needs of our business for at least the next 12 months. However, please see discussion of prospective financial covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement and Convertible Note Purchase Agreement above and in Notes 2, 9 and 10 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table summarizes the changes to our cash flows for the periods presented:

 

   For the Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
(in thousands)  2022   2021 
Statement of Cash Flows Data:          
Net cash used in operating activities  $(22,494)  $(3,816)
Net cash used in investing activities   (1,632)   (3,123)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities   (2,640)   716 
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash   (26,766)   (6,223)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period   63,122    18,618 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period  $36,356   $12,395 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $18.7 million from net cash used in operating activities of $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is a result of $26.8 million less from results of our operations, offset by $1.9 million more generated from working capital and a $6.2 million increase in non-cash adjustments.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.5 million from $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to fewer purchases of property and equipment.

 

40

 

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and was related to the repayment of borrowings under the senior term loan.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This included $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 $0.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

 

Critical Accounting 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, 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.

 

Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are very important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations, and that require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or otherwise complex. Our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for which there were no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2022, included the following:

 

  Goodwill;
     
  Share-based compensation;
     
  Common Stock Warrants and Post-Combination Warrants;
     
  Convertible Notes; and
     
  Income taxes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Refer to Note 2 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further information on recent accounting pronouncements.

 

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.

 

41

 

 

Additionally, we have chosen to rely on certain reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, including, among other things, that we are not required to (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 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 Chief Executive Officer’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 NBA’s 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

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Previously-Reported Material Weakness

 

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness that we identified occurred because we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the cutoff of revenue recognition on products shipped to customers.

 

Management, with oversight from the Board and the Audit Committee of the Board have implemented a remediation plan for this material weakness, including, among other things, implementing process level and management review controls to ensure the cutoff of revenue recognition is accurate.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that 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.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed above.

 

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 June 30, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
