SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form S-1 for its year ended December 31, 2023. Basis of Accounting The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted under GAAP. Use of Estimates Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions during the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in such estimates could affect amounts reported in future periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: liquidity and going concern, the useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; inventory, including the determination of allowances for estimated excess or obsolescence; the fair value of warrants; the fair value of acquisition- related contingent consideration arrangements; unrecognized tax benefits; legal contingencies; the incremental borrowing rate for the Company’s leases; and the valuation of stock-based compensation, among others. Reclassification Certain amounts from prior period financial statements have been reclassified to align with the presentation used in the current condensed consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes. These reclassifications had no material effect on the Company’s previously issued financial statements. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. Segment Information The Company operates as a single operating segment. The chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated revenue information. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable segment and operating segment. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: Level 1 Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The Company issued preferred stock warrants and common stock warrants classified as equity securities which do not require recurring fair value measurement. Refer to Note 9 – Incentive Plans . Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate fair value: Money market funds — The carrying amount of money market funds approximates fair value and is classified within Level 1 because the fair value is determined through quoted market prices. Private Warrants – The carrying value of the warrants is classified within Level 2 because the fair value is determined through quoted market prices, which are valued using the closing market price of the public warrants as the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. Contingent Financing Asset – The initial measurement of the Contingent Financing Asset is classified within Level 1 because the fair value is determined through quoted market prices. Convertible Note Option Liability - The initial measurement and carrying value of the conversion option is classified within Level 3 because the fair value is determined through an option pricing model. Earn-Out - The initial measurement and carrying value is classified within Level 3 because the fair value is determined through Monte Carlo simulation. The Company’s remaining financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities. The Company believes their carrying values are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities. Business Combinations The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create outputs. The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration (i.e., Earn-out liabilities) is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration are required to be recorded at their initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change. When the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash balances are held in U.S. and European banks. Cash balances held in the U.S. are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. The Company maintains its cash balances in highly rated financial institutions. At times, cash balances may exceed federally insurable limits. Restricted Cash The Company is not subject to any contractual agreement that contains restrictions on the Company’s use or withdrawal of its cash or cash equivalents. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company generates revenue from hardware sales and the sale of licenses and subscriptions. The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a corresponding performance obligation is satisfied. Most contracts with customers are to provide distinct products or services within a single contract. However, if a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling price. The Company earns revenue from the sale of its VeeaHub® devices, licenses and subscriptions. The Company generated revenue of $50,683 and $9,009,254 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company generated revenue of $108,264 and $9,040,359 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Other than $9 million of revenue generated from the license of AdEdge™ in 2023, revenue has been immaterial for all periods presented and represented revenue earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub® devices. For licenses of technology, recognition of revenue is dependent upon whether the Company has delivered rights to the technology, and whether there are future performance obligations under the contract. Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the Company has no other performance obligations. Revenue for licenses delivered under a subscription model having terms between one and twelve-months are recognized over-time. Subscription revenue is generated through sales of monthly subscriptions. Customers pay in advance for the licenses and subscriptions. Revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period. Revenue from hardware sales is recognized at a point-in-time, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, right to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product performance obligations include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable. Therefore, sales of these products and the related software are considered one performance obligation. Revenue from all sale types is recognized at the transaction price, the amount management expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for future returns, price protection, warranties, and other customer incentive programs based upon the Company’s expectation and historical experience. The Company contracts with customers under non-cancellable arrangements. While customers, including resellers, may cancel master purchase agreements under certain circumstances, customers may not cancel or modify purchase orders placed under the terms of such master purchase agreements. Each purchase order is therefore a contract with the customer, i.e., the purchase of a quantity of any given, single product; further, purchase orders do not commit the customer to purchase any further volumes over time. Contract modifications do not carry revenue recognition implications as no revenue is recognized until control over products, or intellectual property, as applicable, has transferred to the customer. The Company has service arrangements where net sales are recognized over time. These arrangements include a variety of post-contract support service offerings, which are generally recognized over time as the services are provided, including maintenance and support services, and professional services to help customers maximize their utilization of deployed systems. A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received or is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from customers for product contracts or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on services arrangements. Deferred revenue balances were not significant as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Warranties The Company accrues the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of recognizing revenue. The Company’s standard product warranty terms generally include post-sales support and repairs or replacement of a product at no additional charge for a specified period of time. The Company actively monitors and evaluates the quality of its component suppliers. The estimated warranty obligation is based on contractual warranty terms, repair costs, and the Company’s baseline experience. The Company’s standard warranty terms are twelve months. Warranty expense was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recognized and carried at billed amounts less an allowance for credit losses. The Company adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) guidance effective January 1, 2023. The Company maintains the allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable considering current market conditions and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses, and future expectations. Credit loss expense and allowance for credit losses were not significant as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Inventory The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the value of its inventory and writes down the cost of inventory to its net realizable value if required, for estimated excess or obsolescence. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in future demand forecasts, market conditions, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration, and quality issues. The write down for excess or obsolescence is charged to the provision for inventory, which is a component of Cost of Goods Sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of finished goods, components purchased for manufacturing and freight. Cost of goods sold also includes third-party vendor costs related to cloud hosting fees. Shipping and Handling The Company considers shipping and handling to customers to represent activities performed in fulfilling the contract with the customer. When shipping is charged to the customer, the Company nets such charges against actual shipping costs incurred. Tax Collected from Customers Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the Company’s revenue producing activities, such as sales taxes, are excluded from net sales. Research and Development Research and development (“R&D”) costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. R&D costs primarily consist of employee compensation, employee benefits, stock-based compensation related to technology developers and product management employees, as well as fees paid for outside services and materials. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing costs consist of compensation and other employee related costs for personnel engage in selling and marketing, and sales support functions. Selling expenses also include marketing, and the costs associated with customer evaluations. The Company does not incur advertising costs. General and Administrative Expense General and administrative expense consists of compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense), executive management, finance, legal, tax, and human resources. General and administrative expense also include transaction costs, expenses associated with facilities, information technology, external professional services, legal costs and settlement of legal claims, unrealized foreign currency transaction gain/loss and other administrative expenses. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment, net is stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis of five to seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or remaining lease term. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations in the periods incurred. Upon retirement or sale, costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the balance sheets and the resulting gain or loss is included in operating expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. In conducting its annual impairment test, the Company first reviews qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative assessment, and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. The Company’s goodwill was recorded in connection with an acquisition consummated in June 2018. The Company considers goodwill to have an indefinite life and is not amortized. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no events have occurred that would require impairment of goodwill. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets with finite lives consist primarily of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and intangible assets which are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718 Income Taxes Effective June 8, 2018, the Company converted from an S Corporation to a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, prior to the conversion to a C corporation, the Company did not record deferred tax assets or liabilities or have any net operating loss carryforwards. The Company is required to file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and local municipalities. Veea Systems Ltd. is governed by, and is required to file tax returns under, the Income Tax Law of the U.K. with a statutory income tax rate of 19%. In 2021, the Company established Veea SAS, a French entity with a statutory income tax rate of 25%. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s uncertain tax positions. It is not expected that there will be a significant change in uncertain tax positions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Foreign Operations and Foreign Currency Translation The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are conducted is the United States dollar (“USD”). Accordingly, the Company and all of its U.S. subsidiaries use USD as their functional currency. The results of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currency are the local currencies of the economic environment in which they operate, are translated into USD in accordance with GAAP. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented in equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss, mainly related to intercompany transactions, is included in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 transactions (gain) loss were $(1,831,743) and $926,965, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 such amounts were $(1,343,640) and $(86,019), respectively. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss), net. Other comprehensive income (loss), net is defined as revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ deficit but are excluded from net loss. The Company’s other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments that result from the consolidation of its foreign subsidiaries and is reported net of tax effects. Investments The Company holds non-marketable equity and other investments (“privately held investments”) which are included in noncurrent assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company monitors these investments for impairments and makes adjustments in carrying values if management determines that an impairment charge is required based primarily on the financial condition and near-term prospects of these investments. Concentration of Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Earnings per Share, recasted Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common share equivalents, including stock options, and warrants, to the extent they are dilutive. Refer to Note 14 – Earnings Per Share Convertible Note Payable When the Company issues convertible debt, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine (1) whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and (2) whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of a “derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 7 “Debt” for further information. Contingent Financing Asset The Company recorded a contingent financing asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the fair value of the Transferred Shares issued to Investors for the unfunded portion of the Convertible Notes Payable. See Note 7 “Debt” for further information. Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at their fair value on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the Public warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment. Such guidance provides that because the Private warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability See Note 10 “Warrants” for further information. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the FASB’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. Topic 326 adds to GAAP an impairment model (known as the “current expected credit loss model”) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination as if it had originated the contracts. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2023 and will apply the guidance prospectively for future acquisitions. In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose sufficient information about the program. The amendments do not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2023, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires additional disclosures on income tax expense and |
