The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments. On November 9, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,000,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), and on November 12, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase the remaining 500,000 Over-Allotment Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $15,000,000, and incurred $300,000 in deferred underwriting fees.

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligationswholly-owned subsidiaries and up to $100,000 of interest for its dissolution expenses, the IPO proceeds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (a) the completion of a Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 12 months (or up to 18 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) from November 3, 2020 (the “Combination Period”Airspan IP Holdco LLC (“Holdco”), the closing of the IPO. 

The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling – 99.8% owned by Airspan. Non-controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company underresults of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. 

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of common stock upon the completionminority stockholders’ share of the initial Business Combination either (i)profit or loss of Holdco. The non-controlling interest in connection with a stockholder meeting callednet assets of this subsidiary, and the net income or loss attributable to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be madenon-controlling interest, were not recorded by the Company solelyas they are considered immaterial. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

The shares of common stock subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of an initial Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the initial Business Combination.

The Company will have 12 months (or up to 18 months) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to consummate an initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law and as further described in registration statement with respect to the IPO, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate.

The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares (as defined below), any placement shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, any placement shares and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of in the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company believes it is unlikely that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atin the date of thecondensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash EquivalentsLiquidity

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturityhas 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 three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. newly issued shares.

The Company did not have any cash equivalentshad $102.4 million of current assets and $199.7 million of current liabilities as of September 30, 2020.2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company used $29.6 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 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 8 and 10) may not allow the Company to reasonably expect to meet its forecasted cash requirements.

The Company was not in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes as of the September 30, 2022 quarterly measurement date. In addition, during certain periods subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company has not been in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes. See further discussion below and in Note 10.

Deferred Offering Costs

Going concern

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and other costs incurred throughare presented assuming the balance sheet date that are directly relatedCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the Initial Public Offeringcondensed consolidated financial statements, the Company’s senior term loan and convertible debt require certain financial covenants to be met. The Company was not in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month EBITDA covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes as of the September 30, 2022 quarterly measurement date, which is an event of default under those agreements. In addition, during certain periods subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company has not been in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes, which is also an event of default under those agreements. The Company is seeking a waiver with respect to such breaches. However, there can be no assurance that the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes will agree to waive the existing covenant breaches. Even if the Company receives a waiver with respect to such breaches, 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 the prospective financial covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes during certain periods of the next twelve months. Accordingly, while the Company intends to seek waivers from compliance with the applicable covenants in connection with such anticipated breaches, or amendments of existing financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes, the Company is also pursuing alternative sources of capital so that it will be chargedable to stockholders’ equity uponsatisfy its prospective minimum liquidity obligations under the completion ofFortress Credit Agreement and the IPO. Accordingly, offering costs amountingagreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes. There can be no assurance that the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes will agree to $5,906,654 were charged to stockholders’ equity on November 3, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, there was $79,733 of costs, classified as deferred offering costs,waive any breaches thereunder that may arise in the accompanying condensed balance sheet.

The fair valuewaivers or remedies of existing covenant breaches or any additional breaches that may arise in the future, the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the agreement governing the Company’s senior secured convertible notes 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 the Company’s assets, such lenders could elect to apply the default interest rate thereunder, the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement could elect to terminate their delayed draw commitments thereunder and liabilities approximatescease making further loans, and the carrying amounts represented inCompany could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. In addition, the accompanying balance sheet, primarilyCompany’s subordinated term loan – related party (see Note 9) and subordinated debt (see Note 8) could be accelerated or required to be paid due to their short-term nature.

Net Loss per Common Stock

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding common stock subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 375,000 shares of common stock that are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters. On November 12, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option (see Note 7). At September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company.provisions contained within those instruments. As a result, diluted loss per sharethe Company has classified its debt as current.

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 same as basic loss per share for the period presented.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 improve days sales outstanding 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.

 

Income TaxesThere 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 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 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, that started in 2020, 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 accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requirescannot at this time accurately predict what effects, or their extent, the recognitioncoronavirus outbreak will have on the remainder of deferred tax assetsits 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 liabilities for bothincreased component costs, the expected impactlength of differences betweenvoluntary business closures, and governmental actions taken in response to the financial statementoutbreak. More generally, the widespread health crisis has and tax basis of assets and liabilities and formay continue to adversely affect the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognizedglobal economy, resulting in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2020.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.


The provision for income taxes was deemed to be immaterial for the period from August 20, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, thatwhich potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of a cash accountand cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in ahighly rated financial institutioninstruments. 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.

Atthree months ended September 30, 2020,2022 and 2021, respectively and approximately 57.7% and 70.8% of product sales were to non-U.S. customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Two customers accounted for $20.2 million, or 47.8%, of the net accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2022 and three customers accounted for $34.7 million, or 64.9% of the net accounts receivable balance at September 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 50.8% and 60.4% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 65.8% and 59.6% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management doesIn 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 believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would 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.

8.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 resolution of its board if requested by the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a Business Combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust Account. The Company’s public stockholders will not be entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension. Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amendedsubordination, 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 10). A limited waiver under the Fortress Credit Agreement waives each actual and restated certificateprospective default and event of incorporationdefault 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 $2.0 million and $1.6 million of accrued interest as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Fortress Credit Agreement also contained a prohibition on prepayment during the period from December 30, 2020 through December 29, 2021.

Under the terms of the Fortress Credit Agreement and 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 Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement. The Company was not in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month EBITDA covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement (as defined in Note 11) as of the September 30, 2022 quarterly measurement date. For the last day of the next four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, the applicable minimum twelve-month EBITDA under the Fortress Credit Agreement or its affiliatesthe Fortress Convertible Note Agreement ranges from a loss of $21.0 million to a loss of $39.0 million.

During certain periods subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company has not been in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement.

The Company is seeking a waiver with respect to the applicable deadline, must deposit intobreached covenants referenced above. However, there can be no assurance that the Trust Account $1,000,000, or $1,150,000lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement will agree to waive such existing covenant breaches. Even if the underwriters’ over-allotment optionCompany receives a waiver with respect to such breaches, based on management’s current forecast, absent of additional financing or capital raising, the Company has concluded it is exercisedprobable that the Company will not be in full ($0.10 per unitcompliance with certain of the prospective financial covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement during certain periods of the next twelve months. Accordingly, while the Company intends to seek waivers from compliance with the applicable covenants in either case, upconnection with such anticipated breaches, or amendments of existing financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, the Company is also pursuing alternative sources of capital so that it will be able to ansatisfy its prospective minimum liquidity obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement. There can be no assurance that the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement will agree to waive any breaches thereunder that may arise in the future or that the Company will otherwise be able to remedy such breaches. In the absence of waivers or remedies of existing covenant breaches or any additional breaches that may arise in the future, the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement 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 the Company’s assets, could elect to apply the default interest rate under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, could elect to terminate their delayed draw commitments under the Fortress Credit Agreement and cease making further loans, and the Company could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. In addition, the Company’s subordinated term loan – related party (see Note 9) and subordinated debt (see Note 8) could be accelerated or required to be paid due to provisions contained within those instruments. Accordingly, the Company has classified 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.

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.

15.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 September 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 September 30, 2022, there were 17,466,964 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plans.

Overview

We offer a complete range of 4G and formed5G network build and network densification products with an expansive portfolio of software and hardware tools for indoor and outdoor, compact femto, pico, micro and macro base stations, as well as an industry-leading 802.11ac and 802.11ax fixed wireless access and backhaul solution portfolio for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint applications. Our solutions help network operators monetize the potential of 4G and 5G technologies and use cases and, in addition, allow enterprises to establish their own private networks especially in 5G, where dedicated spectrum has been allocated. We have developed differentiated RAN software and hardware products to help operators get the maximum capacity and coverage in the following ways:

Very high-performance wireless network technology for both access and backhaul components of the network.

Energy efficient and integrated form factors, enabling cost effective deployment of RAN technology that are able to avoid zoning and site acquisition constraints, which translate into a quicker time-to-market for our customers.

Recent Developments

Restructuring Activities

In June 2022, as part of a strategic review of our operations, we announced a cost reduction and restructuring program. This program was primarily comprised of entering into severance and termination agreements with employees. Formal announcements to the relevant employees were made in June and July 2022 and activities were ongoing throughout the three months ended September 30, 2022 and are expected to be complete by December 31, 2022.

We incurred $0.9 million of restructuring costs during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which are presented separately on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we paid $0.8 million of restructuring costs and have recorded a liability amounting to $0.1 million as of September 30, 2022 which is presented within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic, that started in 2020, 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.

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 September 30, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021—Adjusted EBITDA” and “—Results of Operations—Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 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 50.8% and 60.4% of revenue for the purposethree months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had three customers whose revenue was greater than 10% of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combinationthe period’s total revenue.

Our sales outside the U.S. and North America accounted for 54.7% and 73.2% of our total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 55.4% and 70.3% of our total revenue in the nine months ended September 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 one or more businesses,disruptions to our supply chains, which we referhave 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 throughout this Form 10-Q as our initial business combination. We have not selected any business combination targetcontinue to decline and we have not, nor has anyone onintend to continue to implement product cost reductions and develop and introduce new products or product enhancements in an effort to maintain or increase our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.

On November 3, 2020,gross margins. Further, we completedmay derive an increasing proportion of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one redeemable warrant, each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummatedrevenue from the sale of 500,000 private unitsour 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.

Restructuring costs

Restructuring costs consist primarily of employee termination benefits.

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.

37

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.

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.

38

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.

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 $102.4 million of current assets and $199.7 million of current liabilities as of September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we used $29.6 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 2023 to fund research and development activities. Cash on hand and the borrowing capacity under the Fortress Credit Agreement may not allow us to meet our forecasted cash requirements.

45

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 improve days sales outstanding (“DSO”) 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.

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 92 days and 103 days as of September 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 further discussed below, as of September 30, 2022, we were not in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit 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.

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 private unitshare, for aggregate consideration of $75.0 million, and $50.0 million in a private placement to New Beginnings Sponsor, LLC, our sponsor.aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes.

On November 9, 2020, the underwriters exercised in part of the underwriters’ option and purchased 1,000,000 additional units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $10,000,000.

On November 12, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase the remaining 500,000 over-allotment units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $15,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the exercises of the overallotment option, we completed the private sales of an aggregate of 45,000 private units to our sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per private unit, generating gross proceeds of $450,000.

Upon closing of the IPO, the private placements, and the sale of the over-allotment units, a total of $116,150,000 ($10.10 per unit) was placed in a U.S.-based trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements,further discussed below, as of September 30, 20202022, we held cashwere not in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement. See Note 11 of $45,267the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further discussion on this agreement.

Further, we expect to continue to incur significant coststhe last day of any fiscal quarter, our Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) for the preceding twelve months may not be less than the applicable minimum established in the pursuitFortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement. As referenced above, we were not in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month EBITDA covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement as of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plansthe September 30, 2022 quarterly measurement date, which is an event of default under those agreements. For the last day of the next four fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, the applicable minimum twelve-month EBITDA under the Fortress Credit Agreement or the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement ranges from a loss of $21.0 million to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.a loss of $39.0 million.

 


ResultsIn addition, under the terms of Operationsthe Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note 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 Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, as applicable. During certain periods subsequent to September 30, 2022, we have not been in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, which is also an event of default under those agreements.

 

We are seeking a waiver with respect to the applicable breached covenants referenced above. However, there can be no assurance that such lenders will agree to waive such existing covenant breaches. Even if we receive a waiver with respect to such breaches, based on management’s current forecast, absent of additional financing or capital raising, we have neither engagedconcluded it is probable that we will not be in compliance with certain of the prospective financial covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement during certain periods of the next twelve months. Accordingly, while we intend to seek waivers from compliance with the applicable covenants in connection with such anticipated breaches, or amendments of existing financial covenants included in the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, we are also pursuing alternative sources of capital so that we will be able to satisfy our prospective minimum liquidity obligations under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement. There can be no assurance that the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement will agree to waive any operations nor generatedbreaches thereunder that may arise in the future or that we will otherwise be able to remedy such breaches. In the absence of waivers or remedies of existing covenant breaches or any revenuesadditional breaches that may arise in the future, the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement could elect to date. The only activities throughdeclare all the funds borrowed under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, such lenders could elect to apply the default interest rate under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, 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. In addition, our subordinated term loan and subordinated debt could be accelerated or required to be paid due to provisions contained within those instruments. Accordingly, we have classified 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, 2020 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described above, and, after our IPO, identifying a target company for an initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. We will incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the period from August 20, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $461 which consisted of formation costs.

This included $115.5 of net proceeds from the Business Combination, $0.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of an aggregateLegacy Airspan Series H senior preferred stock, $0.1 million of 500,000 private units to our sponsor, at a priceproceeds from the issuance of $10.00 per unit, generating grossLegacy Airspan Series H warrants and $78 thousand of proceeds to us of $5,000,000.

On November 9, 2020, the IPO underwriters exercised in their over-allotment option and purchased 1,000,000 additional units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $10,000,000. On November 12, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase the remaining 500,000 over-allotment units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing offrom the exercise of the overallotment options, we completed the private sales of an aggregate of 45,000 private units to our sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per private unit, generating gross proceeds of $450,000.stock options.

Upon closing of the IPO, the private placements,Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and the sale of the over-allotment units, a total of $116,150,000 ($10.10 per unit) was placed in the trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.  

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete an initial business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliateanalysis of our sponsor or certainfinancial condition and results of operations is based upon our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide non-interest-bearing loans to us as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial business combination. The units would be identical to the private units.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following the IPOunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connectionaccordance with such business combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.


Critical Accounting Policies

GAAP. The preparation of condensedthese financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires managementus to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and incomethe reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported.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 could materiallymay differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and may change as future events occur.

Critical accounting policies are those estimates. We have not identified anypolicies 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.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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, included the following:

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

Recent Accounting StandardsPronouncements

Management does not believeRefer 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, any recently issued, but not yetamong 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, if currently adopted, wouldand 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.

Additionally, we have a material effectchosen 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 condensedsystem of internal controls over financial statements.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 $1.235 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) (4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations. 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of September 30, 2020, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our IPO, the net proceedsWe are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the IPO, including amounts inExchange Act and are not required to provide the Trust Account, may be invested in U.S. government treasury bills, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in certain money market funds that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk. 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

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosureDisclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer (who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer) has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosureare controls and other procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and proceduresthat 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 September 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

ThereOther than our remediation efforts described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended of September 30, 2020 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.Reference is made to Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for information regarding certain litigation to which we are a party.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our final prospectus for our Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC on November 2, 2020. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, thereThere have been no material changes tofrom the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our final prospectusAnnual Report on Form 10–K for our Initial Public Offering filedthe year ended December 31, 2021, except for the risk factor set forth below, which updates the risk factor with the SECsame title included in such Annual Report on November 2, 2020, exceptForm 10-K.

We may not secure additional liquidity required to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to satisfy our debt covenants or to attain profitable operations.

We may need to secure additional liquidity in order to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to satisfy our debt covenants and, ultimately, to attain profitable operations. Any additional liquidity we may disclose changesneed in order to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to satisfy our debt covenants or to attain profitable operations may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.

We were not in compliance with the minimum last twelve-month EBITDA covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement as of the September 30, 2022 quarterly measurement date, which is an event of default under those agreements. In addition, during certain periods subsequent to September 30, 2022, we have not been in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, which is also an event of default under those agreements. We are seeking a waiver with respect to such factorsbreaches. However, there can be no assurance that the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement will agree to waive the existing covenant breaches. Even if the Company receives a waiver with respect to such breaches, based on management’s current forecast, absent of additional financing or disclosecapital raising, we have concluded it is probable that we will not be in compliance with certain of the financial covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement during certain periods of the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement will agree to waive any breaches thereunder that may arise in the future or that we will otherwise be able to remedy such breaches. In the absence of waivers or remedies of existing covenant breaches or any additional factors from timebreaches that may arise in the future, the lenders under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement could elect to time indeclare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and institute foreclosure proceedings against our future filings withassets, such lenders could elect to apply the SEC.default interest rate under the Fortress Credit Agreement and the Fortress Convertible Note Agreement, 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. In addition, our subordinated term loan and subordinated debt could be accelerated or required to be paid due to provisions contained within those instruments.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the full exercise of the over-allotment, we consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 500,000 private units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to the sponsor, generating total proceeds of $5,000,000. Such securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Private Units are identical to the public units sold in the IPO (the “Units”), except the placement units and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the consummation of our initial business combination (subject to limited exceptions) and the warrants included in the Private Units will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the sponsor or its permitted transferees.

On November 9, 2020, simultaneously with the closing of the first exercise in part of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 30,000 Private Units to the sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Units, generating gross proceeds of $300,000.

Use of Proceeds

On November 3, 2020, we consummated our IPO of 10,000,000 Units, at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. served as joint book-running managers. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-248944). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on October 29, 2020.

On November 9, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 1,000,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), and on November 12, 2020, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase the remaining 500,000 Over-Allotment Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $15,000,000, and incurred $300,000 in deferred underwriting fees 

Of the gross proceeds received from the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Units) and the private placements of Private Units, $116,150,000 was placed in the trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

We paid a total of $2,300,000 in underwriting discounts and approximately $406,654 for other offering costs and expenses related to the IPO. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $4,025,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.
