Item 1. Business

Company Overview

Actelis Networks, Inc. (“Actelis,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” “our company”) is a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid-deployment networking solutions for wide-area applications including federal and military, state and local government, intelligent traffic systems (“ITS”), and additional IoT environments such as utility and rail. We also provide Multi-Dwelling Units (“MDU”) both inside and outside of building solutions to modernize and protect infrastructure using existing infrastructure. Through our “Cyber Aware Networking” initiative, we provide AI-based cyber monitoring and protection software for all edge devices, enhancing cyber security and resilience. Our unique portfolio of hybrid fiber, cyber hardened aggregation switches, high density Ethernet devices, advanced management software and cyber-protection capabilities, unlocks the hidden value of essential networks, delivering safer connectivity for rapid, cost-effective deployment.

Critical Trends Affecting Communication Needs Today

Three significant global shifts are affecting the world today, and particularly the need for vast and rapid modernization of communication and networking infrastructure.

The first major shift is the accelerating rise of AI adoption, which demands ever-expanding computational resources to sustain its growth. As this trend continues, AI as an automation capability is becoming increasingly fluid, moving across the cloud, the data center, and the network edge where users and devices are directly served. This redistribution is driven both by the intolerance for latency and by the resource constraints within centralized data centers. The network becomes the essential conduit enabling this movement, carrying the data and intelligence required to position AI workloads wherever they can operate most effectively.

The second shift is to defense and advanced defense technologies, shaped by current geopolitical tension and realizations many countries, including the United States, are making. This defense which includes homeland security, cyber security and operational continuity are requiring critical modernization of networking as well. For example, the recent 2025 outages experienced in Air Traffic Control in New Jersey and Pennsylvania drove an urgent approval of over $12 billion dollars of modernization budget for the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) networks. Similarly, military environments are modernizing rapidly to be ready for development.

The third shift, albeit not new, is cyber security as a pillar of operations in general. As the network may typically be the weakest link, its criticality as a cyber-safe medium is obvious.

These trends receive vast budgets, require very rapid progress and as such, the use of existing infrastructure. Actelis offers its solutions right in the center of such intersection, we explain hereafter how this is done.

Our networking solutions use a combination of newly deployed fiber infrastructure and existing copper and coaxial lines which our patented technology can upgrade to Fiber-grade to jointly create what we believe to be a highly cost-effective, secure, and quick-to-deploy network. Our patent protected hybrid fiber networking solutions deliver excellent communication over fiber to locations that may be easy to reach with new fiber. However, for locations that are difficult, or too costly to reach with fiber, we can upgrade existing copper lines to deliver cyber-hardened, high-speed connectivity without needing to replace the existing copper infrastructure with new fiber. We believe that such hybrid fiber copper networking solution has distinct advantages in most real-life installations, while providing significant budget savings and accelerating deployment of modern IoT networks. Based on our experience, most IoT projects have challenging, hard to reach with fiber locations which may explode such projects’ timeline and budgets. We believe that our solutions can provide connectivity over either fiber or copper with speeds of up to multi-Gigabit communication, while supporting Fiber-grade reliability and quality.

A primary focus of ours is to provide our customers with a cyber-secure network solution. We currently offer Triple-Shield protection of data delivered with coding, scrambling and encryption of the network traffic. We also provide secure, encrypted access to our network management software, and are working to further enhance system-level and device-level software protection. We are also working to introduce additional capabilities for network-wide cyber protection software as an additional SW and license-based services.

When high speed, long reach, reliable and secure connectivity is required, network operators usually resort to using wireline communication over physical communication lines such as fiber, coax, and copper, rather than wireless communication that is more limited in performance, reliability, reach and security. However, new fiber wireline infrastructure is costly to deploy, involves lengthy civil works to install, and, based on our internal calculations, often accounts for more than 50% of total cost of ownership and time to deploy wide-area IoT projects.

Providing new fiber connectivity to hard-to-reach locations is especially costly and time-consuming, often requiring permits for boring, trenching, and right-of-way, sometimes done over many miles. Connecting such hard-to-reach locations may cause significant delays and budget overruns in IoT projects. Our solutions aim to solve these challenges by instantly enhancing performance of such existing copper and coax infrastructure to fiber-grade performance, through the use of advanced signal processing and unique, patented network architecture, without the need to run new fiber to hard-to-reach locations; thus, effectively accelerating deployment of many IoT projects, as we estimate, sometimes from many months to only days. The result for the network owner is a hybrid network that optimizes the use of both new Fiber (where available) as well as upgraded, fiber-grade copper and coax that is now modernized, digitized and cyber-hardened. This unique hybrid network approach is making IoT projects often significantly more affordable, fast to deploy and predictable to plan and budget.

In addition, our solutions can also provide power over existing copper and coax lines to remotely power up network elements and components connected to them (like cameras, small cell and Wi-Fi base stations sensors etc.). Connecting power lines to millions of locations can be costly and very time consuming as well (similar to data connectivity, for the same reason — need for civil works). By offering the ability to combine power delivery over the same existing copper and coax lines that we use for high-speed data, we believe our solutions are solving yet another important challenge in connecting hard-to-reach locations. We believe that combining communication and power over the same existing lines is particularly important to help connect many fifth generation, or 5G, small cells and Wi-Fi base stations, as high cost of connectivity and power is often slowing their deployment.

Since our inception, our business was focused on serving telecommunication service providers, also known as Telcos, to provide connectivity for enterprises and residential customers. Our products and solutions have been deployed with hundreds of telecommunication service providers worldwide, in enterprise, residential and mobile base station connectivity applications. In recent years, as we have further developed our technology and introduced additional products, we turned our focus on serving the wide-area IoT, federal and U.S. Department of War (“DoW”) markets, as well as multi-dwelling units, and introduced, in 2024, our cyber-aware networking solutions for IoT markets as well.

In December 2024, we launched our MetaShield AI-Powered SaaS solution, under Actelis’ ‘Cyber Aware Networking’ initiative. This includes a software based platform designed as an intelligence layer integrated into Actelis’ networking devices, leverages the network’s power and proximity to IoT devices to monitor and protect physical assets such as cameras, sensors, and other devices at the edge, enabling corrective actions before issues propagate throughout the network.

We derive a majority of our revenues from our existing and new IoT (including federal and DoW) customers. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our IoT customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately 73% and 72% of our revenues, respectively.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of our customers. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our top ten customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately 62% and 74% of our revenues.

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and as of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $52 million. We have funded our operations to date through equity and debt financing and we had cash on hand (including short term bank deposits and restricted cash equivalents) of $4.4 million and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted bank deposits of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2025. We continue to invest in sales and marketing resources to fuel our growth.

Our technology is both powerful and compact and is built as a relatively small set of feature-rich network elements, that serve as building block in the verticals we serve, namely Federal and Military, Intelligent Transportation, and MDUs. These elements include switches, typically enhanced with signal processing software, concentrators, reach extenders, data encryption elements, power sources and a smart networking software that allows for remote management and monitoring down to the single element and line performance, configuration management making complex network topologies easy to deploy, analyze, debug and remote software download to help with remote handling of large and small networks, on any wired infrastructure – be it Fiber, Copper or Coax. At the same time, we continue to serve our long-standing Telco customers in their hybrid communications needs. As cyber security standards tighten worldwide, in second half of 2025, we started offering customers on-going monitoring of vulnerabilities through our scanning and analysis tools for new developments in this industry, to keep and safeguard their networks when new threats become known or existing threats become relevant to their environment.

Our cyber-security offerings include various embedded cyber-hardening features, such as encryption, our SaaS-based MetaShield platform, as well as vulnerability monitoring and analytics services, and embedded software improvements offered to existing customers in the form of software upgrades. As such, we allow continuous protection through learning of both the network elements as well as the devices connected to them, delivering constant alerting and review against external data bases of known threats, and offer software upgrades that overcome newly known or identified vulnerabilities, creating a repeatable, ever-improving protection cycle.

Rapid Deployment and Lower Cost of Critical Connectivity

We aim to become the global leading provider of cyber-secure, cost-effective and quick-to-deploy hybrid networking for all wide-area applications. Our products work over all types of wireline media on the global data network, whether owned or operated by telecom service providers or a private network operated by enterprises or government organizations as well as MDU buildings. Our products are structured as building blocks especially for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), including roads, rail and airport applications that are feature-rich. This allows for one Actelis platform to often replace multiple other platforms available in the market, allowing for space-saving installation, energy conservation (which we believe results in a more environmentally sustainable network, through the avoidance of need to add new physical infrastructure), and making network planning easier for our customers. We aim at having our products installed and help accelerate deployment of wire-area IoT projects and applications everywhere.

For example, in one of the projects where our solutions are deployed, we found that 70% of locations are easy-to-reach with new fiber optic installation. Connectivity for such easy-to-reach locations may, as we believe, average $26,000 per mile for new fiber laid on poles, and can take between days to weeks to connect. However, the remaining 30% of locations were hard-to-reach with new fiber optics, and accordingly may require boring or trenching to reach IoT sensors or camera locations. Getting fiber to those 30% of hard-to-reach would require potentially connecting over obstacles, roads, long distances, and may also require obtaining the right of way and permits for extensive civil works. We believe this aspect of the deployment of new fiber optics may cost up to $400,000 per mile, which for this particular project would have impacted thousands of miles of roads, resulting in enormous cost, delay and interruption to traffic.

In another project, we have been selected to provide networking for a major city that has fiber installed to 15% of its traffic junctions, however 85% of its junctions are connected to low performance copper lines susceptible for bad actors to tamper with. Upgrading the entire city’s infrastructure to Fiber would have involved major civil works, permit delays and traffic interruptions for months or years, with a cost that would greatly exceed city’s budget. Our hybrid fiber network allowed for the city to use its 15% fiber deployment, upgrade instantly the performance of its existing 85% copper lines to fiber-grade and join the two under a comprehensive management and security software package from Actelis to create one seamless network, while providing major savings of both time and money.

In recent years, we have significantly advanced our product offerings. In 2022, we launched our family of hardened, hybrid, encrypted fiber products with 10Gbps switching capacity. Following that, in 2023 and 2024 we introduced and refined the next-generation “Gigaline” product families, providing hybrid-fiber Gigabit-grade connectivity across fiber, copper, and coax environments, which addressed new challenges for ITS and telecom customers and further enhanced our multi-gigabit products to support a broader range of use-cases. In 2025, we expanded our offering with the launch for large Coax environments, expanded our offering with fiber only solutions and introduced the MetaShield cyber-aware networking product family.

Cybersecurity

Networking systems are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, as they often carry data related to critical processes and applications, such as provision of energy, water, gas and transportation services, to large populations. At the same time, they are often found in the wide range, meaning, in public locations, adding further risks of tampering and break-ins.

In 2024 we signed a strategic partnership with a cyber-security development company, which helped us launch our new cyber-aware networking solution for IoT networks. Later that year, we launched our MetaShield SaaS product as a cyber-security solution that comes from the network itself, and has since then been introduced to our existing and new customers.

Our products all include cyber safety features that we are constantly developing. They currently include network traffic encryption and coding. We have developed and implemented a multi-layered “Triple Shield” technology that includes (i) information coding for resilience and security (for copper wires); (ii) multi-line information scrambling for increased resilience and added security (for copper wires); and (iii) an additional 256-bit hardware-based real-time encryption of data running over fiber, coax or copper — creating end-to-end protection for the entire hybrid network. Our network management software is also cyber-hardened and helps protect the system. Our systems have been selected for deployment in sensitive applications with U.S. DoW and other governments and military organizations, airports, utility companies, oil and gas companies, smart cities, rail and traffic applications globally.

In 2024, we successfully completed the certification of our product lines for Federal Intelligence Protocol Standards (FIPS) 140-2 and were approved by the DoW’s Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) for interoperability and cybersecurity, allowing our products to be included in several federal approved product lists (APL). In February 2026 we have deployed the next generation of FIPS standard requirements in our product portfolio (140-3).

In 2025, we enhanced our service capabilities in monitoring and analysis of market and industry vulnerabilities, existing and new. This helps us offer such monitoring services to our customers to protect their installed base, while offering embedded and management software upgrades that are in-line with the threats that need mitigation. This further reflects the fact Cybersecurity is central to optimizing and modernizing networking solutions.

Market Verticals We Address

We execute our vision through a multi-channel, global approach that combines our expertise, with the expertise of our trusted business partners, system integrators, distributors, and consultants.

We operate a vertical-based marketing plan where we dedicate efforts and resources to each vertical. The verticals we focus on include: Federal and military, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), smart city, rail, airports. We also address utilities and campuses. .. In 2024, we launched our MDU program , which was further expanded in 2025 to address increasing building sizes as well as arenas. The MDU vertical requires networking solutions for residential buildings with multiple units, such as apartment complexes and condominiums as well as hospitality properties such as hotels and resorts, connecting each unit to high-speed internet, using the infrastructure present, be it Coax, fiber or copper, and tailor it to the size of the building, from a dozen units to hundreds and thousands of them.

Our solutions are utilized within networks deployed by cities such as the City of Los Angeles, the District of Columbia, Montgomery County, MD, the City of Seattle, the Cities of Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne and others in Germany, as well as notable entities such as Highways England, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Autostrada in Italy, the U.S. military, including the Air Force, Navy and National Guard, as well as Stanford University. In 2025, We received our first hotel implementation in the U.S., through a global strategic partnership with a hospitality guest experience platform provider.

Our customers benefit from rapidly and cost-effectively enabling their critical functions such as traffic cameras and smart signaling, security cameras, smart parking meters and ticketing, rail signaling and control, electrical substation management and protection, military operations, and many more. Recently, Actelis Networks has secured significant orders and launched groundbreaking solutions like MetaShield, an AI-based cybersecurity solution, driving SaaS growth and edge infrastructure resilience. To date, we have been most successful in selling to customers in the intelligent transportation systems, rail, federal and military, airports, and MDU markets, primarily in the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan.

Recent Trends in our Markets

State of Connectivity Market, including Federal, Military and MDUs

Edge AI, also covered as edge computing, according to Grandview research is projected to grow from approximately $20 billion in 2024 to nearly $190 billion in 2033. According to US Congress’ budgeting program projections, US military base modernization budgets in 2025 were $37 billion as part of a model projecting the Federal Defense program to grow to over $850 billing in 2029. With that, the already robust cyber-security market, according to Grandview research the global cyber-security market is projected to grow from approximately $240 billion in 2024 to nearly $500 billion in 2033. With these trends, infrastructure network connectivity demand is growing very rapidly. According to Markets and Markets, the Smart Transportation market is projected to grow to over $250 Billion by 2029, largely for intelligent transportation modernization. We believe there is an urgent need to connect tens of millions of locations with a fast and secure connection. A huge challenge for ITS projects is that implementing connectivity between different points in a network can consume the majority of a project’s cost and time to implement, including unpredictable and unanticipated challenges that arise in each individual project.

We believe that the number of IoT applications requiring our fast, smart, and secure connectivity is immense and provides us with a great market opportunity to grow our business. From smart transportation systems (smart cameras, smart lights and signals, Vehicle to Everything, or V2X communication) and smart security (cameras and radars), to smart parking, smart rail, as well as airport and air traffic control infrastructure, also manifested by the $12.5 billion budget granted to the FAA in 2025, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to address all of these applications in a versatile and flexible manner.

In the MDU market, which we believe is in dire need for multi-Gigabit connectivity, and is extremely limited in its ability to invest significant funds to enable such objective. According to US Census.gov, there are approximately 20 million buildings above 5 units built by the year 2000, most of which already wired by various infrastructures. The Broadband Equity program or BEAD has allotted $28 billion already to all 50 states to modernize and provide high-speed reliable internet including underserved communities, as part of the Infrastructure Act.

Recent Developments

July 2025 Private Placement

On June 30, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 2025 Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a private placement (the “July 2025 Private Placement” or the “July 2025 Offering”) (a) 162,602 shares of Common Stock, (b) Series A-3 warrants (the “Series A-3 Warrants”) to purchase up to 162,602 shares of Common Stock, and (c) Series A-4 warrants (the “Series A-4 Warrants”, and, with the Series A-3 Warrants, the “July 2025 Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 325,204 shares of Common Stock, for a purchase price of $6.15 per share and related July 2025 Common Warrants, for a total aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1 million. The July 2025 Private Placement closed on July 2, 2025.

The Series A-3 Warrants have an exercise price of $6.15 per share, are exercisable commencing on the effective date of shareholder approval (the “July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date”) of the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants (“July 2025 Shareholder Approval”) and expire five years following the Shareholder Approval Date. On November 7, 2025, the July 2025 Shareholder Approval was obtained in a special meeting of our shareholders, resulting in the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date being such date.

The Series A-4 Warrants have an exercise price of $6.15 per share, are exercisable commencing on the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date and expire eighteen months following the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date.

Under the terms of the July 2025 Common Warrants, the warrant holders may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause the warrant holder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% (or, at such Investor’s option upon issuance, 9.99%), of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“HCW”) acted as the placement agent for the issuance and sale of the Securities. The Company has agreed to pay an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the July 2025 Offering and $35,000 for accountable expenses to the placement agent. The Company also agreed to issue to the placement agent, or its designees, Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 7.0% of the aggregate number of the shares of Common Stock sold to the Investors (or warrants to purchase up to 11,382 shares of Common Stock) at an exercise price per share of $7.688 which will be exercisable commencing on the Shareholder Approval Date and a have term of five years after the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date (the “July 2025 Placement Agent Warrants,”).

The July 2025 Placement Agent Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

Nasdaq Listing Compliance

On August 25, 2023, we received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq indicating that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to our failure to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in shareholders’ equity (the “Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement”) or any alternatives to such requirement. In order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we submitted a plan of compliance addressing how we intended to regain compliance. On March 27, 2024, we received a delist determination letter from Nasdaq advising us that the Staff had determined to delist our securities from Nasdaq due to non-compliance with the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement, unless we timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). We timely requested a hearing before the Panel.

On August 27, 2024, we received formal written notice from Nasdaq confirming that we have evidenced compliance with all applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550, including the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), we remained subject to a panel monitor for equity compliance through August 27, 2025.

On May 12, 2025, Nasdaq notified us (the “Notification Letter”) that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires our Common Stock to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”). The Notification Letter had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Common Stock on Nasdaq and, at this time, the Common Stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “ASNS”. The Notification Letter provided that we have 180 calendar days, or until November 10, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

On August 19, 2025, we received written notice from Nasdaq stating that, due to the Company’s non-compliance with the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement as of June 30, 2025, and because, pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company remained subject to a mandatory hearing panel monitor through August 27, 2025, the Company’s securities were subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”). The Company had its hearing with the Panel on September 30, 2025.

At the hearing, the Company presented its plan to evidence compliance with the Equity Rule and all other applicable criteria for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and requested to remain listed subject to its plan to regain compliance.

On October 28, 2025, we received a listing decision from Nasdaq notifying us that the Panel determined that the Company evidenced compliance with the Shareholders’ Equity Requirement.

The Panel also granted the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to an exception through December 5, 2025, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(1). In order to evidence compliance with the bid price requirement, the Company must evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10, but generally not more than 20, consecutive business days. On November 7, 2025, we held a special meeting of shareholders where our shareholders approved, among other things, the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split was effected on November 18, 2025.

On December 3, 2025, the Company received formal notice from Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule and evidenced compliance with all other applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq. Accordingly, the previously disclosed listing matter has been closed.

The Company will remain subject to a one-year “Panel Monitor”, as contemplated by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), through December 5, 2026. If during that period the Company fails to satisfy any of the criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq, the Staff may not grant the Company additional time to regain compliance. Rather, Nasdaq will issue a delist determination, which the Company may address by requesting a new hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

On February 4, 2026, we received a written notice Nasdaq indicating that the Staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

As disclosed in the Notice, the Staff determined that the Company’s common stock failed to maintain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. While companies are typically afforded a 180-calendar-day compliance period to comply with the Bid Price Rule, the Staff concluded that the Company is not eligible for the compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) due to the fact that the Company effected a reverse stock split within the prior one-year period, specifically a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on November 18, 2025, and therefore is subject to immediate delisting.

As further disclosed in the Notice, the Company had the right to request a hearing and that a hearing request would result in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearings process. Accordingly, on February 11, 2026, the Company requested a hearing before the Panel, which served to stay any further suspension or delisting action through the hearing or any extension the Panel provides following the hearing.

At the hearing, the Company intends to take all reasonable measures available and is going to present a plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and remain listed on Nasdaq to the Panel. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule or maintain compliance with all other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with White Lion as described below, if the Company fails to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Commitment Fee Amount (as defined below) will increase subject to the terms of the Delisting Penalty Provision in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. See “Item 1-Business-Recent Developments-Equity Line of Credit Agreement” for additional information.

September 2025 Warrant Inducement

On September 2, 2025, we entered into an inducement agreement (the “Inducement Letter”) with a certain holder (the “Holder”) of certain of the Company’s existing warrants to purchase an aggregate of 427,020 shares of the Company’s common stock, consisting of (i) 127,119 warrants issued on December 20, 2023 with an expiration date of June 20, 2029 at an exercise price of $11.8 per share (ii) 99,967 warrants issued on June 6, 2024 with an expiration date of December 6, 2029 at an exercise price of $20.00 per share and (iii) 199,934 warrants issued on July 2, 2024 with an expiration date of July 2, 2026 at an exercise price of $17.50 per share (the “Existing Warrants”).

Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, the Holder agreed to exercise for cash the Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 427,020 shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price of $3.70 per share in consideration of the Company’s agreement to issue new common stock purchase warrants (the “New Warrants”), as descried below, to purchase up to an aggregate of 640,530 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $3.70 per share. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants by the Holder, before deducting financial advisory fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

Rodman & Renshaw LLC and HCW acted as financial advisors to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Inducement Letter. Pursuant to an engagement letter with HCW, the Company has agreed to pay the financial advisors a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the Holder’s exercise of the Existing Warrants, as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants and $25,000 paid for non-accountable expenses. The Company has also agreed to issue to the financial advisors or their designees warrants (the “Inducement Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 29,891 shares of common stock (representing 7.0% of the Existing Warrants being exercised), which will have the same terms as the New Warrants having a term of five years of Stockholder Approval (as defined below) except the Inducement Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price equal to $4.625 per share (125% of the exercise price of the Existing Warrants).

The New Warrants have an exercise price equal to $3.70 per share. The New Warrants will be exercisable from the effective date (the “Warrant Stockholder Approval Date”) of shareholder approval (“Stockholder Approval”), until (i) the five-year anniversary of such date for 340,629 of the New Warrants and (ii) the twenty-four-month anniversary of such date for 299,901 of the New Warrants. The exercise price and number of New Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions, reorganizations, or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock and the exercise price. On November 7, 2025, the Warrant Stockholder Approval was obtained in a special meeting of our shareholder, resulting in the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date being such date.

The closing of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Inducement Letter occurred on September 3, 2025.

Provided that the Inducement Letter prohibited the Company from entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company involving a variable rate transaction, the Holder agreed to waive such prohibition with respect to the transactions contemplated by the ELOC Purchase Agreement as described below, and signed an amendment to the Inducement Letter on October 9, 2025. Pursuant to such amendment, the Company issued to the Holder 10,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company on similar terms as the Series A-1 Warrants.

Equity Line of Credit Agreement

On September 27, 2025, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”), with an effective date of October 1, 2025, and a related registration rights agreement (the “White Lion RRA”) with White Lion Capital, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“White Lion”). Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $30,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price (the “Commitment Amount”) of newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

The Company is obligated under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and the White Lion RRA to file a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register the Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the resale by White Lion of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue to White Lion under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and to register the Commitment Shares (as defined below) within five business days of the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

The maximum number of shares issuable under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement is subject to the Exchange Cap.

The Company agreed to call a special meeting of its shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of Common Stock under the Common Stock beyond the Exchange Cap (“Shareholder Approval”) within 120 days of October 1, 2025. If the Company failed to call the Special Meeting within this timeframe, it shall pay liquidated damages to White Lion, as more fully described in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Special Meeting was held on January 29, 2026. Shareholder Approval was not obtained due to a failure to reach a quorum. Please see “January 2026 Special Meeting of Shareholders” below for more information.

Because Shareholder Approval was not obtained at the Special Meeting, the Company is obligated to call an additional Special Meeting every ninety (90) days thereafter, for a total period of 360 days, until Shareholder Approval is obtained. The follow-up meeting to obtain Shareholder Approval is scheduled to be held on April 13, 2026.

As consideration for White Lion’s irrevocable commitment to purchase the Company’s Common Stock up to the Commitment Amount, the Company agreed to issue shares of Common Stock to White Lion (the “Commitment Shares”) equal to $750,000 (the “Commitment Fee Amount”) divided by the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 business days prior to the issuance of the Commitment Shares.

If at any point during the term of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement the Company fails to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Commitment Fee Amount will increase to $1,000,000 if remedied within six months or less, to $1,250,000 if remedied after six months but before twelve months, and $1,500,000 if not remedied within twelve months (the “Delisting Penalty Provision”). The Delisting Penalty Provision shall automatically be waived on the date that is six (6) months after the later of (A) the date on which Shareholder Approval is Obtained and (B) the date on which the Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions including, without limitation, the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the shares issuable pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company’s right to sell shares to White Lion will commence on October 1, 2025 and extend until October 1, 2028, unless the Company has exercised its right in full to sell shares to White Lion under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement prior to such date (the period beginning on the effective date and ending on the earlier of such dates, the “Commitment Period”). During such term, subject to the terms and conditions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company shall notify (such notice, a “Purchase Notice”) White Lion when the Company exercises its right to sell shares (the effective date of such notice, a “Notice Date”). The Purchase Notice may be a Regular Purchase Notice or a Rapid Purchase Notice, each as described below.

The number of shares sold pursuant to any such notice may not exceed 40% of the Average Daily Trading Volume for the common stock traded on Nasdaq immediately preceding receipt of the applicable Purchase Notice, and can be increased at any time at the sole discretion of White Lion, up to 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company.

Under a Regular Purchase Notice, the purchase price to be paid by White Lion for any such shares will equal 97.5% multiplied by the lower of the (i) lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock during the Regular Purchase Valuation Period (as such term is defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement) or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock one business day prior to the delivery of the Regular Purchase Notice.

Under a Rapid Purchase Notice, the purchase price to be paid by White Lion for any such shares will equal (i) the lowest traded price of the Common Stock on the Rapid Purchase Notice Date with respect to Rapid Purchase Price Option 1; or (ii) 99% multiplied by the lowest traded price of the Common Stock two hours following written confirmation of the acceptance of the Rapid Purchase Notice by White Lion with respect to Rapid Purchase Price Option 2.

The Company may terminate the Common Stock Purchase Agreement at any time, which shall be effected by written notice being sent by the Company to White Lion. In addition, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) the end of the Commitment Period or (ii) the date that, pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any person commences a proceeding against the Company, a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. Certain provisions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement survive termination, as described more fully in the text of the agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the White Lion RRA with White Lion in which the Company has agreed to register the shares of Common Stock purchased by White Lion under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with the SEC for resale within 30 days of the execution date of the White Lion RRA. The White Lion RRA also contains usual and customary damages provisions for failure to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within the time periods specified therein.

The Common Stock Purchase Agreement and the White Lion RRA contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

White Lion Private Placement

Concurrently on September 27, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “PIPE Purchase Agreement”) with White Lion, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to White Lion in a private placement (the “Offering”) (i) 87,177 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 312,823 shares of Common Stock (the “White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants”) for a purchase price of $2.125 per share of Common Stock and $2.124 per White Lion Pre-Funded Warrant, for a total aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $850,000. The Offering closed on September 29, 2025.

The Company had a right to redeem 48,826 of the shares of Common Stock at a redemption price of $0.001 per share. The Company and White Lion have agreed that, in lieu of such redemption, on October 20, 2025, the Company reduced the number shares issuable pursuant upon exercise of the White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants by 48,826 shares, to 263,997.

The White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0. 001 per share of Common Stock and will not expire until exercised in full. However, the Company may not issue a number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to exercise of the White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants in an amount that will not exceed the Exchange Cap when combined with the number of Shares issued in the Offering, before shareholder approval for further issuance beyond the Exchange Cap is obtained. The Company intends to obtain such shareholder approval concurrently with the Shareholder Approval required for the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement beyond the Exchange Cap.

The obligation to file the Resale Registration Statement described above also covers the registration of the shares of Common Stock and shares underlying the White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants issued pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement. The Company filed the Resale Registration Statement on October 7, 2025, and such registration statement became effective on November 28, 2025.

December 2025 Offering

On December 17, 2025, we offered and sold in a public offering on a best efforts basis (the “December 2025 Offering”) (i) 4,352,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) 1,897,500 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,897,500 shares of Common Stock (the “December 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (iii) 6,250,000 common warrants to purchase up to 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock, (the “December 2025 Common Warrants” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “December 2025 Warrants”), at a purchase price of $0.80 per share of Common Stock and accompanying December 2025 Common Warrant, and $0.7999 per December 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying December 2025 Common Warrant. Aggregate gross proceeds from the December 2025 Offering (without taking into account any proceeds from any future exercises of December 2025 Warrants) were approximately $5 million. The Offering closed on December 19, 2025.

The December 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock and will not expire until exercised in full.

Each December 2025 Common Warrant has an exercise price of $0.80 per share, is exercisable immediately on upon issuance and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance.

A holder of the December 2025 Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its December 2025 Warrants if the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such holder’s affiliates or any other persons whose beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s or any of the holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Certain investors in the Offering entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement with the Company (the “December 2025 Purchase Agreement”). The December 2025 Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. Pursuant to the December 2025 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to abide by certain customary standstill restrictions for a period of thirty (30) days following the closing of the December 2025 Offering. In addition, subject to limited exceptions, the December 2025 Purchase Agreement provides that for a period of one year following the closing of the December 2025 Offering, the Company will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect a “variable rate transaction” as defined in the December 2025 Purchase Agreement.

HCW acted as the sole placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), on a “best efforts” basis, in connection with the Offering. On March 3, 2025, the Company and the Placement Agent had entered into a letter agreement with the Company to serve as exclusive underwriter, agent or advisor in any offering of securities of the Company for a six-month term (the “Engagement Agreement”). The Engagement Agreement has been extended twice since its initial effectiveness and ran through March 12, 2026 . Under the Engagement Agreement, as extended, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Offering, as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering. The Company also agreed under the Engagement Agreement to reimburse the Placement Agent $25,000 for non-accountable expenses and up to $100,000 for fees and expenses of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses of the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Company will issue to the Placement Agent or its designees 437,500 warrants to purchase up to 437,500 shares of Common Stock, representing 7.0% of the sum of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants to be sold in the Offering (the “December 2025 Placement Agent Warrants”). The December 2025 Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock (representing 125% of the public offering price per Share and accompanying Common Warrant), are exercisable for five years from the date of the commencement of sales in this offering, and otherwise reflect substantially the same terms as the December 2025 Common Warrants. The Engagement Agreement contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature. The Company signed an ATM exclusive engagement with HCW on January 5, 2026 that ending twenty-four months following the first sale under the ATM.

The net proceeds to the Company from the December 2025 Offering are approximately $4.46 million after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes.

January 2026 Special Meeting of Shareholders

On January 29, 2026 we held a special meeting of shareholders where we reviewed the proposal to allow White Lion to purchase more than 19.99% of the company’s shares that were outstanding as of October 1, 2025 which was the ELOC’s effective start date. The meeting did not have a quorum, therefore according to the company’s by-laws and the definitive 14A the meeting was not adjourned, and the proposal was not approved. According to the ELOC Agreement the company will have to bring the same proposal for voting in a meeting of shareholders within 90 days. A special shareholder meeting was scheduled for April 13, 2026 bringing the proposal for voting.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On November 17, 2022, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $1.0 million of outstanding shares of our common stock. The Board authorized us to purchase our common stock from time to time on a discretionary basis through open market or private transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, and other applicable legal requirements. On March 18, 2026, the Board authorized an expansion of the repurchase program, such that the maximum aggregate purchase price under the program will now be $1.5 million. As of the date of this Annual Report, $50,000 worth of repurchases have been made.

Repurchases under the share repurchase program will be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, and our financial performance. The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any particular number of shares.

Our Solutions

We have invested nearly $100 million over the years to develop our patented, multi-layered “Triple Shield” technology, which can serve all connectivity markets. Our Triple Shield technology includes signal processing software that is implementing optimization of multi-line signal coordination, the elimination of interference to boost connectivity performance, the optimization of coding for resilience and security, multi-line data scrambling for low latency, increased resilience, and added security. Our solutions also offer implementation of 256-bit encryption of transmission for data running over fiber or copper for network-wide protection of data. Our technology is packaged into a small set of compact, hardened, feature-rich network elements (such as switches, concentrators and reach extenders) — the MetaLIGHT product family — that are used as building blocks addressing the needs of most wide-area IoT verticals and applications, in a space-and energy-saving fashion. The ability to drive remote powering and synchronization signals to network ends over existing copper transmission lines provides additional significant cost-and-time benefits to network operators.

In 2023, we introduced the next-generation product families for hybrid-fiber-copper (or in short “hybrid-fiber”) Gigabit grade connectivity under the product family name, “Gigaline” or GL. Under the Gigaline families of hybrid-fiber networking solutions for fiber, copper and coax environments, we solved new challenges faced by our IoT and telecom customers and expanded our offerings.

One such product line, the GL800 aims at extending multi-gigabit fiber-grade connectivity to buildings, enterprises, IoT installations, campuses, and 5G/4G base stations.

A second product line, the GL900, extends Gigabit connectivity from fiber installations outside buildings (“homes passed” by fiber) into individual offices and apartments within MDUs, without the need for landlord investment in re-wiring buildings with fiber. MDU market in the US alone is estimated by the company to include more than 20 million buildings.

A third product group, GL5000 and GL6000, that was introduced in 2023 includes over 40 variants of hardened, 10Gbps fiber switches to expand our fiber offering into the IoT market.

Our product offering includes our EMS network management software, providing built-in automation to help configure, manage, monitor, safeguard, install and maintain complex, hybrid networks of thousands of elements remotely. Our EMS management Software was enhanced to support these new products and strengthened with advanced security features to support better cyber production and meet DoW demands. Our products are also built for future integration with enhanced security services we may introduce in the future.

A fourth product group, MetaShield, that was introduced in 2024, is a cyber-security, cyber-aware networking solution, an AI-powered, asset intelligence and threat management that comes as part of our networking solutions. Its objective is to continuously monitor IoT devices for cyber-risks, network behaviors, trends and overall health, to detect cyber attacks and operational anomalies, to document such performance tracking and provide compliance reports, and to automatically-correct the vulnerabilities, anomalies and attacks that it identifies. It is a cloud-base Software-as-a-service solution, that can be a stand-alone solution that works on any network, or, integrated with our networking solutions.

A fifth product group is the Gigaline 9000, addressing large MDUs buildings and hospitality properties in increments of hundreds of units that can scale and provide Coax based modernization to Gigabit connectivity without the need to rewire and rather use existing cable TV infrastructure.

We aim to continue developing our technology to include more system-wide security and further hybridity across all types of infrastructure. We will also seek to include cutting-edge computing capabilities to serve all connectivity needs for our IoT customers, in an effective and easily deployable way, while maintaining our commitment to serve our existing Telco customers.

We believe that our strong reputation as a provider of high-quality solutions, and the trust we gain from being recognized as a solid solution provider by prominent customers (such as the U.S. DoW) help us execute our strategy.

Product Specifications

Our products use advanced signal processing implemented at the system level, with an approach that treats multiple copper lines as one multi-line channel, which we believe to achieve the following benefits:

Supporting any hybrid combination of new Fiber infrastructure and existing copper and coax infrastructure, supporting data security an encryption protocols, certified for FIPS by US DoW labs; supporting outdoor hardened environmental requirements dense and compact to save space and allow for flexible location setting.

In addition to these main benefits, we have focused our efforts and implemented technologies in our products in order to achieve the following:

Since our inception, our business has been focused on serving telecommunication service providers (Telecom), also known as Telcos, for enterprises and residential customers. Our products and solutions have been deployed with more than 100 telecommunication service providers worldwide, in enterprise, residential and mobile base station connectivity applications. In recent years, as we have further developed our technology and rolled out additional products, we turned our focus on serving the IoT markets. Our operations are focused on our fast-growing IoT business while maintaining our commitment to our existing Telecom customers.

Our Competitive Advantage

We have invested heavily and over more than 10 years in the development of copper technologies and hybrid-fiber communication systems to create a solution that enables high-speed communication over real-life networks of mixed media, securely, reliably, and with Gigabit-grade resilience.

Copper and coax lines are readily available in billions of locations. They are often buried in the ground, running in the walls of buildings or hanging from telephone poles, in bundles of tens or hundreds of wires.

Copper wires were never designed for long-reach, secure, high-speed communication. Attempts to deliver high-speed would encounter many problems, including signal attenuation, cross-talk interference from other lines in the Bundle and from any external electrical sources, variable quality and signal interruptions, and variable latency. Such wires are also relatively easy to tap into physically, and the information is also radiated outside of the cable and may be exposed to security threats.

In order to correct the issues with providing high speed communications over copper wiring, we developed technologies utilizing a multi-line approach, encoding, scrambling and processing the signals at system level (rather than at the single lines level), and finally also offering data encryption, to combat interference, electromagnetic noise, and issues with copper line quality and data security.

The next step was to integrate our existing technologies into hybrid-fiber building blocks, that provide seamless communication over mixed, real-life fiber-copper-coax networks, and many other advantages.

We believe our products offer a unique solution on the market in terms of value, by providing the following:

Military — grade, DoW certified FIPS cyber protection

We believe that the combination of these advantages provides our customers with a highly cost-effective solution to quickly obtain IoT connectivity anywhere in their network.

We believe that our hybrid-fiber solutions have a significant competitive advantage in several layers: (a) copper performance (speed, reach, link stability and data security); (b) seamless fiber-copper-coax integration and end-to-end data encryption; (c) overall system cyber-hardened design; (d) versatile, compact and feature-dense products with a good fit to the vast majority of applications; (e) very high product and transmission reliability; automatic configuration tools and advanced management of every element in the field; and (f) highly cost-effective when compared to alternatives. We believe that these advantages lead to very good value for our customers for both rapid deployment to all locations, regardless of whether these locations are hard to reach. We also believe that these characteristics provide us with a competitive advantage against many, if not all, companies in our space, such as Cisco, Rad, Nokia, Siemens, Belden and others.

We have hundreds of large, medium and small network operators as end users of our products, including municipalities, railway, airports, electricity, water infrastructure companies as well as other governmental agencies and military customers. We believe that we enjoy a strong reputation for offering reliable, high-performance and high-end products. We expect that the acceptance process for our new products for existing customers will become simpler due to customers positive accumulated experience working with us. We also have many non-exclusive third-party distributors, resellers and system integrators and partners around the world, located in the U.S., Canada, Philippines, Germany, Italy, Spain, Scandinavian countries, Greece, Netherlands, Japan and India. These non-exclusive third-party distributors are used to selling our products, and we believe that they appreciate the reliability of our products and the quality of service and support that we provide. All of these advantages constitute an entry barrier, which we believe may make it more difficult for a competitor to reach a similar status.

We believe that over the past years, we have built a reputation for providing, according to our customers, reliable, high-quality communication solutions with better copper and hybrid fiber performance than other alternatives on the market. A competitor who wants to enter the market will have to compete with our reputation, which has been acquired over a long period by providing long-term quality service to hundreds of network operators and hundreds of thousands of end customers and IoT elements.

Our Sales and Marketing Strategy

We operate through two regions — Americas and International (consisting of EMEA, or Europe, Middle East and Africa, and APAC, or Asia Pacific) in a matrix with a vertical structure that is described below. Our sales and support teams are currently located in the United States, Mexico, Germany, Israel, and India. We also execute our sales and marketing plan through a multi-channel by vertical global approach that combines our expertise with the expertise of our trusted business partners. Our current business partners, as well as the partners we will seek in the future, are system integrators, distributors, contractors, resellers, and consultants. Our business partners are currently located in North America, Central America, Europe, India, Singapore, China, Australia, Vietnam and Japan. Once we identify a relevant business opportunity in a new territory, we seek to partner with local business partners or agents. We believe our strong brand name of high-quality communication solutions, as well as the credibility we gain with esteemed customers such as the U.S. DoW, enhances our ability to provide our products and services. For example, we maintain UL laboratories compliance with FIPS 140-3 cybersecurity standard required by the DoW and the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) labs approval of the Company’s products for cybersecurity and interoperability, putting the products in the DoW Approved Products List (APL).

We operate a vertical-based marketing plan where we dedicate tailored solutions and individual resources to each specific vertical. Our verticals include Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS), rail, smart city, Telecom, utilities, federal and military.

Federal and Military

Our current and future federal and military federal aviation authorities, US military, Air Force and Navy bases, and other government and military facilities. The Federal and US Military environments operate millions of connection points that are excessively outdated. By addressing them with any infrastructure existing currently, we help them modernize quickly and achieve project completion fast. Since late 2025, we started focusing our sales efforts into the Programs of Record (PoRs) in the Department of War (DoW). These PoRs are running in the various branches of the DoW, and our efforts are aimed at becoming designed into several of them as the default technology for the relevant elements. In addition, we continue to answer to needs raised more tactically in specific locations and bases within the DoW. We believe that such dual approach is effective in order to further support our growth.

ITS

ITS include customers who manage road systems such as departments of traffic on either the municipality, county, state, or national level. The types of applications in this vertical that require communication include road cameras, lane management systems, and road signs.

Smart City

We believe the goal of nearly any city worldwide is to become smarter and better serve its residents and visitors. Smart city customers include such municipalities. The types of applications in this vertical requiring communication include security cameras, parking management, energy and water management, waste management, digital signs, and provision of Wi-Fi connectivity. We currently have projects in more than 100 cities, mostly in North America and Europe.

Rail

Rail systems include customers who own and operate traditional inter-city rail lines as well as light rails. Some applications requiring communication in this vertical are central train control systems, rail signals, safety cameras and alert sensors, and rail station communication. We currently have projects within this vertical in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Airports

Airports include customers who are either a State or Federal airport agency, or a service provider to the airport industry. The types of applications within this vertical requiring communication are airport security, baggage management, and airport Wi-Fi. Since 2022, we are delivering to our airport integration customer, who is a worldwide market-leader in airport operation technology, with which we signed an agreement to provide our solutions to hundreds of airports in 39 countries.

Energy and Water

Energy and water include customers such as electric utilities, oil companies and water utilities. The types of applications within this vertical that require communication are sub-station monitoring, oil and gas pipeline and refineries, electric and water flow monitoring, and perimeter security. We have projects within this vertical in North America and Europe.

MDU and Telco

MDU include apartment buildings and condominiums, as well as hospitality properties such as hotels and resorts. Existing MDUs (there are 20 million buildings of five units or more in the U.S., who are built before the year 2000), therefore, carrying aged infrastructure, particularly network cabling. We provide MDUs both inside and outside of building solutions to modernize and protect communication using existing infrastructure, reaching Gigabit speed and quality at a fraction of the cost and time.

In addition, we serve our legacy Telco customers, by supporting communication service providers of both wired and wireless services (including 4G and 5G). The types of applications within this vertical requiring communication include enterprise offices, branch offices, residential buildings, educational facilities and back-haul for mobile base stations. In 2025, we launched MetaLight 650SV, helping veteran legacy network T1 connections converge with existing fiber networks.

Channel and Territory coverage

The majority of our business is conducted indirectly through various types of business partners, namely system integrators, distributors, contractors, resellers and consultants. Nevertheless, our team often accompanies a channel partner during the selling process to help secure a deal with an end-user. We seek to cover the geographic territories in which we sell, in combination with the target verticals described above. In this effort, we take advantage of existing strong relationships with business partners in the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific and also seek to recruit new business partners that can help us expand our coverage.

In addition, we maintain a website (at www.actelis.com) tailored to the IoT strategy and is expanding our marketing initiatives (professional organizations, shows, online targeting, online campaigns and lead generation) to grow our opportunity pipeline.

We operate through two main regional sales teams — Americas and International (consisting of EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific)) in a vertical model similar to that which was described in our marketing strategy above and generates its pipeline of leads and opportunities through a combination of channel presence, on-line presence as well as direct touch. Our sales teams are very experienced in the target verticals and have significant competencies in the target networks of decision makers. We intend to invest in expanding this presence and strength.

Software and Services

Our products consist of hardware and an embedded software that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. Our products are sold with a two-year warranty for repairs or replacements of the product in the event of damage or failure during the term of the support period, which is accounted for as a standard warranty. Services relating to repair or replacement of hardware beyond the standard warranty period are offered under renewable, fee-based contracts and include telephone support, remote diagnostics, and access to on-site technical support personnel.

We also offer our customers our EMS management software, either as perpetual or term-based. EMS is optional and is being sold separately from our hardware products, and has been sold either as a per-element license, or as a license for a whole network.

Our customers may request added functions and features for their specific need which we can customize for an additional fee.

We also offer our customers product support services which include telephone support, remote diagnostics, and access to on-site technical support personnel. Such support service is sold as a standalone contract or in combination with EMS management software and is offered for a term, usually 12 months with a renewal option.

Additionally, our customers can purchase software support service which allow them to receive some additional features or free upgrades. Such support service is sold as a separate contract.

We offer service contracts at different levels (Silver, Gold, Platinum), which may include different levels of support (remotely or in the field), hardware repairs, spare parts, help with network design, and SW/HW upgrades. Such service contracts are sold separately from the sale of hardware products and may be sold combined with our EMS software licenses. It usually covers periods post the expiration of our warranty period and would be renewed on an annual basis. The cost of the service is derived from the size of the network, and the level of support required.

In December 2024, we launched our MetaShield AI-Powered SaaS solution, under Actelis’ ‘Cyber Aware Networking’ initiative. This includes a software based platform designed as an intelligence layer integrated into Actelis’ networking devices, leverages the network’s power and proximity to IoT devices to monitor and protect physical assets such as cameras, sensors, and other devices at the edge, enabling corrective actions before issues propagate throughout the network.

Competition

We compete in markets for networking and communications services and solutions for service providers, businesses, government agencies and other organizations worldwide. While our hybrid-fiber offerings are unique in our opinion, providing the highest value to network operators, our customer may still elect to implement their networks in other ways.

As such we compete with a number of companies in the markets we serve. In ITS, our key competitors include Moxa Technologies, FlexDSL Telecommunications AG, EtherWAN Systems, Inc. and Belden Inc. In the MDU markets, our competition includes companies such as InCoax, Positron and ReadyLinks.

We believe the following competitive attributes are necessary for our solutions to successfully compete in IoT and Telecom networking markets, and likewise we believe that we are providing leading products in all the categories below:

Rapid deployment/implementation

We believe that we compare favorably on the basis of the factors listed above. However, many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources; relationships with large vendor partners; larger global presence; larger customer bases; longer operating histories; greater brand recognition; and more established relationships in the industry than we do. Furthermore, new entrants not currently considered to be competitors may enter the market through acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic relationships. See “Item 1.A - Risk Factors — New competitors may enter the marketplace and begin to compete with the Company.”

Manufacturing, Procurement and Logistics

We take advantage of the combination of our inhouse skills and those of the third parties we partner with to execute our operational tasks which are planning and manufacturing finished goods inventory, planning and procuring raw materials and delivering products to our customers based on promised delivery schedules.

Our raw material consists of electronic chipsets, FPGA components, modems, and other electronic and mechanical components. Most of those components are procured by our contract manufacturers and we assist them as needed in specific cases. For example, since the breakout of COVID-19, as the world is experiencing shortages of electronic components, we have assisted our manufacturers in acquiring components that are harder to find. We also secure components as have been designated to be the close to end of life by their manufacturers to ensure adequate quantities of future product shipments.

Our products are assembled by various contract manufacturers, located in Israel and in Taiwan who possess the expertise of assembly and quality control required for electronic manufacturing in a turn-key fashion. Some of our products are manufactured to our specifications under an OEM arrangement. The company uses state-of-the-art logistics services from the best providers worldwide and also has in-house expertise in executing such required processes.

We believe that we can add and/or replace our contract manufacturer if necessary. We have successfully transitioned from one contract manufacturer to another in the past, and we believe that a transition would be achievable, if necessary, in the future typically within three to six months.

Warranty

Our products are generally sold with a standard warranty of two years for product defects, as well as technical center support with properly trained personnel, during normal business hours, to address incidents raised customers. Within the warranty agreement, we offer to repair or replace defective products, or software bug fixes. Upon expiration of the warranty period, the customer has an option to purchase an extended warranty contract for an additional fee, typically for one or more periods of 12 months.

Growth Strategy

Global Expansion and Recognition

We intend to leverage (a) the customers, partners, and representatives’ presence in over 30 countries including the Americas, Europe and Asia, (b) brand recognition developed over more than 20 years, and (c) the fact that our products are differentiated, as we believe, offering unique value in IoT verticals, particularly in Federal/Military, Smart Cities, Smart Roads, Utilities and Rail, as well as for Telecom carriers and in particular our differentiation in providing critical Gigabit and fiber grade solutions to Multi-Dwelling Units (“MDU”). Furthermore, we believe our unique package of cyber-hardened communications building blocks for IoT environments coupled with our cyber management solution that comes with the network, will help us increase our presence and recognition as a stand-out solution.

In order to achieve the right level of global coverage, we continue to expand our network of partners and representatives, as well as reputable advisors with unique expertise , and aim increasingly at partnering with larger numbers of companies with global presence. These can be system-integrators, value-added resellers, contractors, distributors, and consultants. For example, over the last year we expanded our network of partners in Italy, France, United States and more, including Federal/Military experts assisting us in growing this vertical.

We are investing in growing our sales, channel management and support teams, and dedicate resources which specialize in specific verticals in each of the theaters. During 2025, we upgraded our capabilities in Federal and Military sales and marketing by hiring a Chief Revenue Officer, Americas and a Director of Federal sales, both veterans of those markets. Our new hires help us implement a new strategy through the US Department of War Programs of Record (PoR) to generate much more scalable growth in this vast market.

Expansion of Multi-year deals

Over the past years, we entered into several large multi-year contracts with ITS, military, airports, and more that will generate more predictable sales for the next several years. For example, since the IPO, we announced several new deals we won or started to deliver, such as the worldwide airport technology provider, a provider of energy services to a major European city in a major European country, the city of San Jose, California and Northern Ireland railways. We intend to expand this strategy by investing in sales and marketing presence to extend the length these contracts and add many others.

Expansion in Cybersecurity, Recurring Revenue Model, Cyber monitoring services

Cybersecurity is essential for networking infrastructure. Such security must be addressed at the data traffic, switching, and network management level. Encryption is a fundamental building block to achieve the necessary protection, preferably at a low networking layer. Our products are already capable of delivering sensitive information for many critical applications, and we are investing more in making this a strong differentiator, and to have our products recognized as the most cyber-safe IoT building blocks in the growing secure IoT communication market.

To that end, we launched MetaShield and we offer a SaaS, AI based cyber-security and operational continuity monitoring and mitigation software platform. Additionally, our customers are bound by elevated security standards requiring them to identify new vulnerabilities in the systems they operate, including our networking solutions that are installed in their environments. In 2025 we started to market vulnerability scanning, analytics and monitoring to the customers who require it and believe this initiative will expand further as more and more are required by their parent organizations or authorities to declare such compliance.

United States’ Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

In November 2021, Former President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to invest approximately $1.2 trillion to significantly upgrade the United States’ infrastructure. Specifically, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law mandates investing the following amounts: $110 billion to rebuild many of America’s roads and bridges; $39 billion in public transit; $66 billion in high-speed rail; $108 billion to upgrade the nation’s electricity grid; $55 billion to expand access to clean drinking water; $25 billion to modernize several US airports; $650 billion in previous authorized funding for roads including nearly $300 billion for the Highway Trust Fund; and $65 billion to ensure that every American has access to high-speed internet through deploying broadband infrastructure. Part of the latter is the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program (the “BEAD”). The BEAD Program provides $42.45 billion to expand high-speed Internet access by funding planning, infrastructure deployment and adoption programs. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five territories participating in the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program have approved Internet for All plans and approximately $28 billion were ear-marked in total for all states. We believe that we have a significant positive contribution of value through our solutions to the BEAD projects, and we are pursuing funded programs where we look to offer our products.

It remains uncertain what actions, if any, the Trump Administration may take to repeal or otherwise modify the the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law or BEAD.

Recent increase and creation of new tariffs by the Trump Administration is not likely to affect the Company significantly, since the Company manufactures its products in Israel and Taiwan, and the procurement of raw material is done directly to these countries. Also, the United States has stable trade agreements with Israel, where our subsidiary manages our operations, and from which exports our products to the Unites States.

We believe that this significant increase in infrastructure spending by the United States Government will likely result in investments in our communication infrastructure solutions, as these spending initiatives are aimed at our targeted verticals.

Growth through Mergers and Acquisitions

We continue to evaluate potential growth through mergers and acquisitions opportunities in situations where we believe that a transaction will fill business gaps or add key business operations without requiring us to wait years for marketing and sales cycles to materialize. The resulting combination of our existing products and services, new key personnel, and strategic partnerships through M&A could provide new offerings to our existing market.

If we target businesses in the same sector or location, we hope to combine resources to reduce costs, eliminate duplicate facilities or departments and increase revenue. We still believe this strategy will provide for accelerated growth and maximize investor returns.

Environmental

We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that impact issues specific to our business.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 51 employees and contractors, of which 39 were full-time employees, including 13 in sales and marketing, 20 in research development, engineering, and operations and 6 in general and administration. We have approximately 34 employees and contractors in Israel, 15 in the U.S., ,1 in Europe and 1 in Asia. Our U.S.-based employees are employed through a Professional Employer Organization, providing employee benefits and services.

We believe our culture and principles enable us to attract, retain, motivate and develop our workforce as well as drive employee engagement. We believe an engaged workforce leads to a more innovative and productive company that serves its customers better. Our employees work to ensure that our products and services connect and protect our customers critical infrastructure. A testament to that is the long-term retention of many of our employees and their loyalty to us. We measure each one through a goal setting and measurement system to maximize our enterprise value and employee career potential.

We support and strive for ethnic and gender diversity.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. To the knowledge of our management, there are no legal proceedings currently pending against us which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Government Regulation

Our products are required to be certified for safety and local standards in each country that we sell in as needed. In the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan our products are UL certified (safety), EN (emissions Regulation), VCCI (Japanese emissions standard), CISPR (European emission standard), ICES (Canadian radio frequency emissions standards), ETSI (European electromagnetic compatibility standard), CFR (US Federal Broadcasting Regulation), as well as IEC (European Safety Standard). We have also received the JITC (Joint Interoperability Test Command) certification of meeting certain cybersecurity standards required by the DoW.

We are subject to numerous federal, state, provincial, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the storage, handling, emission, and discharge of materials into the environment, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act; the Clean Water Act; the Clean Air Act; the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and similar laws in the other countries in which we operate. While we believe that our existing environmental control procedures are adequate, we will continue to evaluate and update our procedures as needed to address new or changing aspects of environmental matters.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trade secrets, patent, trademark and copyright laws in the United States, as well as intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights (including confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions, and non-disclosure and assignment-of-intellectual property agreements with our employees, independent contractors, consultants and companies with which we conduct business) to establish and protect our A.I. technology, intellectual property and proprietary rights, trade secrets, databases, and our brand.

We have registered Actelis Networks as a service trademark in the United States, and we are the registered holder of the domain name Actelis.com that includes “Actelis Networks, Inc.”. Out of 29 patents that we were granted in the United States, 13 are registered and current while the remaining 16 expired. Out of 6 patents we were granted in Europe, 3 are registered and current while the remaining 3 expired, 1 registered patent in Indonesia, one pending application in Brazil, all of which in the general area of high-speed carrier class Ethernet service and transport over bonded VDSL2, G.SHDSL as well as Fiber G.fast and G.hn protocols covering various aspects of our technology. While we continue to consult with counsel on the advisability to seek patent protection of some of our algorithms, we rely heavily on trade secrets to protect our intellectual property around our technology.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report, before deciding to invest in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we face. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be harmed. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of net losses, may incur substantial net losses in the future, and may not achieve or sustain profitability or growth in future periods. If we cannot achieve and sustain profitability, our business, financial condition, and operating results will be adversely affected.

We have incurred net losses in recent years, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We experienced a net loss of $8.3 million and $4.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As a result, we had an accumulated deficit of $52 million as of December 31, 2025. We cannot predict when or whether we will reach or maintain profitability.

We may also increase our operating expenses in the future as we continue to invest for our future growth, including expanding our research and development function to drive further development of our platform, expanding our sales and marketing activities, developing the functionality to expand into adjacent markets, and reaching customers in new geographic locations, which will negatively affect our operating results if our total revenues do not increase. In addition to the anticipated costs to grow our business, we also expect to incur significant additional legal, accounting, and other expenses as a newly public company. These efforts and additional expenses may be more costly than we expect, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to increase our revenues to offset our operating expenses. Any failure to increase our revenues or to manage our costs as we invest in our business would prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability.

There is no guaranty that we will be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our cost structure or obtain the level of financing necessary for our operations.

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and incurred losses of $8.3 million and $4.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had negative cash flows from operations of $7.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, our accumulated deficit was $52 million. We have funded our operations to date through equity and debt financing and have cash on hand (including short term bank deposits and restricted cash equivalents) of $4.4 million and long-term restricted bank deposits of $30 thousand and long term deposit of $91 thousand as of December 31, 2025. We monitor our cash flow projections on a current basis and take active measures to obtain the funding it requires to continue our operations. However, these cash flow projections are subject to various uncertainties concerning their fulfilment such as the ability to increase revenues by attracting and expanding its customer base or reducing cost structure. If we will not succeed in generating sufficient cash flow or completing additional financing, then it will need to execute a cost reduction plan that has been prepared. Our transition to profitable operations is dependent on generating a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure. We expect to fund operations using cash on hand, through operational cash flows and raising additional proceeds. There are no assurances, however, we will be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our cost structure or that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing necessary for its operations.

Furthermore, we may continue to incur negative cash flow from operating and investing activities for the foreseeable future as we expect to incur research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses and make capital expenditures in our efforts to increase our sales. Our business also will at times require significant amounts of working capital to support our growth of additional platforms. An inability to generate positive cash flow from operating activities for the near term may adversely affect our ability to raise needed capital for our business on reasonable terms, or at all, diminish supplier or customer willingness to enter into transactions with us, and have other adverse effects that may decrease our long-term viability. There can be no assurance that we will achieve positive cash flow in the near future or at all.

Our financial condition raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue to operate as a going concern. These events and conditions, along with other matters, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern determination could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. Further financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in generating sufficient revenues from our product sales to continue our operations as a going concern. If funds are not available to us, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to our products. This raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our shares of common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market if we fail to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s stockholders’ equity continued listing standards. Our ability to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our shares of common stock could be adversely affected if we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. 

On August 25, 2023, we received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to our failure to comply with the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement or any alternatives to such requirement. In order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we submitted a plan of compliance addressing how we intended to regain compliance. On March 27, 2024, we received a delist determination letter from Nasdaq advising us that the Staff had determined to delist our securities from Nasdaq due to non-compliance with the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement, unless we timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). We timely requested a hearing before the Panel. 

On August 27, 2024, we received formal written notice from Nasdaq confirming that we have evidenced compliance with all applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550, including the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), we remained subject to a panel monitor for equity compliance through August 27, 2025.

On May 12, 2025, Nasdaq notified us (the “Notification Letter”) that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires our Common Stock to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”). The Notification Letter had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Common Stock on Nasdaq and, at this time, the Common Stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “ASNS”. The Notification Letter provided that we have 180 calendar days, or until November 10, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. 

On August 19, 2025, we received written notice from Nasdaq stating that, due to the Company’s non-compliance with the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity Requirement as of June 30, 2025, and because, pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company remained subject to a mandatory hearing panel monitor through August 27, 2025, the Company’s securities were subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Panel. The Company has its hearing with the Panel on September 30, 2025. 

At the hearing, the Company presented its plan to evidence compliance with the Equity Rule and all other applicable criteria for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and requested to remain listed subject to its plan to regain compliance. 

On October 28, 2025, we received a listing decision from Nasdaq notifying us that the Panel determined that the Company evidenced compliance with the Shareholders’ Equity Requirement. 

The Panel also granted the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to an exception through December 5, 2025, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(1). In order to evidence compliance with the bid price requirement, the Company must evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10, but generally not more than 20, consecutive business days. On November 7, 2025, we held a special meeting of shareholders where our shareholders approved, among other things, the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split was effected on November 18, 2025. 

On December 3, 2025, the Company received formal notice from Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule and evidenced compliance with all other applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq. Accordingly, the previously disclosed listing matter has been closed. 

The Company will remain subject to a one-year “Panel Monitor”, as contemplated by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), through December 5, 2026. If during that period the Company fails to satisfy any of the criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq, the Staff may not grant the Company additional time to regain compliance. Rather, Nasdaq will issue a delist determination, which the Company may address by requesting a new hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. 

On February 4, 2026, we received a written notice Nasdaq indicating that the Staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

As disclosed in the Notice, the Staff determined that the Company’s common stock failed to maintain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. While companies are typically afforded a 180-calendar-day compliance period to comply with the Bid Price Rule, the Staff concluded that the Company is not eligible for the compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) due to the fact that the Company effected a reverse stock split within the prior one-year period, specifically a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on November 18, 2025, and therefore is subject to immediate delisting.

As further disclosed in the Notice, the Company had the right to request a hearing and that a hearing request would result in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearings process. Accordingly, on February 11, 2026, the Company requested a hearing before the Panel, which served to stay any further suspension or delisting action through the hearing or any extension the Panel provides following the hearing.

At the hearing, the Company intends to take all reasonable measures available and is going to present a plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and remain listed on Nasdaq to the Panel. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule or maintain compliance with all other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with White Lion as described below, if the Company fails to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Commitment Fee Amount (as defined below) will increase subject to the terms of the Delisting Penalty Provision in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. See “Item 1-Business-Recent Developments-Equity Line of Credit Agreement” for additional information.

On January 26, 2026, Nasdaq filed a rule proposal with the SEC that would permit the immediate suspension and delisting of a company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market if its market value of listed securities remains below $5 million for 30 consecutive business days. As of the date of this Annual Report, our market value of listed securities is below $5 million and if this rule were to go into effect and we are unable to increase our market value of listed securities above $5 million, we would become subject to immediate suspension and delisting.

We have in the past, and may in the future, be unable to comply with certain of the listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our shares of common stock on Nasdaq. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as minimum stockholders’ equity requirements or minimum bid price requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our shares of common stock. Such a delisting would have a negative effect on the price of our shares of common stock, impair the ability to sell or purchase our shares of common stock when persons wish to do so, and any delisting materially adversely affect our ability to raise capital or pursue strategic restructuring, refinancing or other transactions on acceptable terms, or at all. Delisting from Nasdaq could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities, as well as a limited amount of news and analyst coverage of us. Delisting could also result in a determination that our shares of common stock are a “penny stock,” which would require brokers trading in our shares of common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary market for our shares of common stock. In the event of a delisting, we would attempt to take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our shares of common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities, prevent our shares of common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.

Unfavorable global economic or political conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our business is susceptible to general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets. A global financial crisis or a global or regional political disruption has caused, and could in the future cause, extreme volatility in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn, including a recession, the currently prolonged inflationary economic environment, continued rising interest rates, debt and equity market fluctuations, diminished liquidity and credit availability, increased unemployment rates, decreased investor and consumer confidence, supply chain challenges, natural catastrophes, the effects of climate change, regional and global conflicts and terrorist attacks or political disruption or turmoil could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our product candidates or any future product candidates, if approved, and our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy or political disruption could also strain our manufacturers or suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption, or cause our customers to delay making payments for our potential products. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and we cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the political or economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

Prolonged inflation rates could negatively impact our revenues and profitability if increases in the prices of our products or a decrease in customer spending results in lower sales which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Inflation rates, particularly in the United States, have increased in 2022 through 2025 at levels not seen in years in many countries where our customers reside. Continued and increased inflation may result in decreased demand for our products and services, increased operating costs (including our labor costs), reduced liquidity, and limitations on our ability to access credit or otherwise raise debt and equity capital. In addition, the United States Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to concerns about inflation. Increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may have the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty and heightening these risks. In an inflationary environment, we may be unable to raise the sales prices of our products at or above the rate at which our costs increase, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Accordingly, the U.S. dollar has strengthened against foreign currencies as a result of the United States Federal Reserve’s actions to lower inflation, which is affecting our business partners, where they sell local currency to the end-user of our products and services.

We may need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future, and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could dilute our stockholders’ ownership interests.

In order for us to pursue our business objectives, we may need to raise additional capital, which additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute our shareholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the market value of our equity securities. The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding. In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry and prevent us from meeting our financial obligations.

In February 2024, we entered into a new credit line facility from an Israeli bank of up to $1.5 million (the “Credit Line”). The Credit Line is secured by customer invoices and will incur interest at a Federal SOFR rate plus 5.5%. The Credit Line has been extended until February 1, 2026. The current balance outstanding is approximately $36,000. As of the date hereof, the Company has not further extended the credit facility; however, it may do so in the future.

We may raise additional debt in the future in order to extend the financing we need in ways that are less or non-dilutive vs. equity fund raising. Such debt funding may increase the burden on our cash flow, make us subject to interest accruing overtime which will affect our profitability as well as our ability to fund our operations.

To support our business growth, in the past years we increased our focus on serving certain IoT verticals, while continuing to serve our existing Telco customers. This change in our strategy may make it more difficult to evaluate our business growth and future prospects, and may increase the risk that we will not be successful in our plans.

Since our inception, our business was focused on serving Telcos for enterprises and residential customers. Our products and solutions have been deployed with more than 100 telecommunication service providers worldwide, in enterprise, residential and mobile base station connectivity applications. In recent years, as we have further developed our technology and rolled out additional products, we turned our focus on serving the IoT markets. Our operations are focused on our fast-growing IoT business, while maintaining our commitment to our existing Telco customers. A portion of our revenue continues to be derived from our existing Telco customers. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our Telco customers in the aggregate decreased by 1% from approximately 28% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2024, to 27% in the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our change in strategy and our efforts to serve the IoT verticals that we have focused on may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, or may require longer development and deployment times, and we may not succeed in fully penetrating such IoT verticals, or at all.

We may have ineffective sales and marketing efforts.

Our sales and marketing efforts to drive growth may be ineffective as we try to win new deals either directly with end-user customers, or indirectly through business partners, distributors, system integrators or value-add resellers. These ineffective efforts may cause us to miss our planned growth and harm our financial results.

We outsource our product manufacturing and are dependent on our key manufacturers, and on our component and OEM suppliers. We are susceptible to problems, and have encountered problems in the past, in connection with procurement, decreasing quality, reliability, and protectability.

Our devices are assembled by using fully manufactured parts, the manufacturing of which has been fully outsourced, and we have no direct control over the manufacturing processes of our products. We outsource procurement and manufacturing activities to certain key manufacturers and certain component and OEM suppliers.

We also purchase unique components and products from suppliers who are exclusively able to fulfill such supply. We may lose some or all of these relationships, or have a material weakness in negotiating favorable terms, or such unique components have or may be declared end-of-life which may require product design changes. Such circumstances have hurt our profitability in the past, and may hurt our profitability in the future, and negatively affect our ability to deliver our product on time to customers.

Our lack of control in our manufacturing process due to the fact that we outsource our product manufacturing may increase quality or reliability risks and could limit our ability to quickly increase or decrease production rates. If necessary, switching production to other or additional subcontractors will entail a material cost and a temporary decrease in our productivity. Our manufacturing process has been disrupted in the past, and may be disrupted in the future, by various factors, including but not limited to shipping delays, bottlenecks resulting from raw materials specific shortages, quality problems or a decrease in quality, manpower shortages by the manufacturers or political unease that would trigger the closure of a facility or financial insolvency.

Furthermore, a supplier may discontinue production of a particular part for any number of reasons, which may require us to purchase a large inventory of such discontinued parts in order to ensure that a continuous supply of such parts remains available to our customers. Such “end-of-life” parts purchases could result in significant expenditures by us in a particular period, and ultimately any unused parts may result in a significant inventory write-off, either of which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations for the applicable periods. Additionally, in case any part embedded in our products is no longer available, we may be required to redesign such product in order to enable usage of alternative parts, or be forced to announce end-of-life of such product. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” for additional information on supply constraints related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Demand for our products and solutions may not grow or may decline.

We may experience a reduction in customer demand as a result of either of competition from other companies, technological changes required by our target markets, or disruptions of existing and new customer relationships. Such demand reduction will prevent us from realizing our planned growth.

Our gross margins may not increase or may deteriorate.

If our gross margins do not increase as planned or deteriorate, it will be harder for us to achieve profitability, which could substantially impact our business and ability to carry on operations if other financing sources are not secured on satisfactory terms. Our gross margins may deteriorate as a result of either reductions of customers price points, increases in product component and manufacturing costs, or unfavorable changes in the mix between more and less profitable customers and/or products.

Changes in the price and availability of our raw materials and shipping could be detrimental to our profitability.

Chipsets, electronic and mechanical components are significant components of our products. Over the past few years, the prices and availability of electronic and mechanical components have been fluctuating and may continue to evolve unpredictably in the future.

Furthermore, our products are assembled with various contract manufacturers located in Israel and in Taiwan. We have experienced instances of limited supply of certain raw materials and shipping delays, which resulted in extended lead times, increased shipping costs and higher-than-usual backlogs. Economic and political circumstances may negatively affect the price and availability of raw materials, shipping and availability of assembly capacity of contract manufacturers.

We may have previously agreed to set prices with our customers and any changes in supply costs may decrease our margin and directly affect profitability. If prices increase, supply interruptions, shipping delays, or shortages of materials continue to occur, it could have a negative effect on revenues and earnings.

Expanding our operations and marketing efforts to meet expected growth may impact profitability if actual growth is less than expected.

To meet expected growth, we plan to expand operations, including additional hiring, advertising, and promotion. If actual growth is less than expected, it would negatively impact our ability to become profitable, which would require we raise additional capital if required, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, which would impact our ability to carry on operations.

If our internal company cyber-security measures are breached or fail and unauthorized access is obtained to our IT environment, we may incur significant losses of data, which we may not be able to recover and may experience a delay in our ability to conduct our day-to-day business.

As cybersecurity attacks continue to evolve and increase, our cyber-security measures and our IT environment could be penetrated or compromised by internal and external parties’ intent on extracting confidential information, disrupting business processes, corrupting information, or looking to force the Company to pay a ransom. These risks could arise from external parties or from acts or omissions of internal or service provider personnel. Such unauthorized access could disrupt our business and could result in the loss of assets, litigation, remediation costs, damage to our reputation and failure to retain or attract customers following such an event, which could adversely affect our business.

Cyber attackers update their methods frequently. Sometimes cyberattacks are unrecognizable at the time of their occurrence and even long after. In addition, cyber incidents can occur as a result of non-technological failures, like human error or malicious acts. In some cases, information security incidents at our customers or suppliers can also lead to information security incidents in our information systems. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that the safeguards taken by us and the safeguards we will take in the future will completely prevent information security incidents or damages that may result from them as detailed above.

We provide cyber security features as part of our products that may not completely prevent information security breaches, and our products are installed in live customer environments and may be compromised by cyber-attacks and damage customer assets.

Our products include cyber-security features such as data-traffic encryption that are engineered to protect our customers’ data and environment. Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated and evolve quickly, and these features may fail to protect our customers as intended and fail at preventing information security breaches. We plan to offer new cyber security products and features which we will either develop internally, obtain from partnerships with third-parties, or through acquisitions in the future. These planned new cyber-security products and features may fail to protect our customers as intended and not prevent information security breaches.

Our products are installed in live customer network environments, and may be subject to cyber-attacks seeking access to our customers networks through our products. Those cyber-attack attempts may take advantage of vulnerabilities of our products within the networks, vulnerabilities that may be known or unknown to us.

Our products and services include information systems and digital data of various types, including data kept by our employees, suppliers, and customers (and their own customers). In recent years there has been an increase in the frequency and severity of cyber incidents (including cybercrime). This trend is expected to continue in the future and even worsen, despite all the defense mechanisms employed against it. Cyber events can lead to unauthorized access, unauthorized disclosure, misuse, disruption, deletion, or modification of the Company and its customer assets, data, and processing, as well as disrupting day-to-day operations, computing services, and significantly slowing them down and even disabling information systems.

In the event of damage caused by such cyber-attacks, we may suffer negative consequences, such as disruption of the Company’s and/or our customers’ activities, disruption of or disabling information systems, theft of our and/or our customers’ data, or damage to its reputation thus affecting clients’ trust in the Company, and potentially exposing it to lawsuits. In such cases, our business results may be severely harmed.

We depend on key information systems and third-party service providers.

We depend on key information systems to transact our business accurately and efficiently. These systems and services are vulnerable to interruptions or other failures resulting from, among other things, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, software, equipment or digital failures, processing errors, computer viruses, other security issues or supplier defaults. Security, backup, and disaster recovery measures may not be adequate or implemented properly to avoid such disruptions or failures. Any disruption or failure of these systems or services could cause substantial errors, processing inefficiencies, security breaches, inability to use the systems or process transactions, loss of customers or other business disruptions, all of which could negatively affect our business and financial performance.

We depend on our management team and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could adversely affect our business.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel, or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly in engineering and sales, may seriously and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we have entered into employment or consulting agreements with our personnel, their employment is generally for no specific duration.

Our future performance also depends on the continued services and continuing contributions of our senior management team, which includes Tuvia Barlev, our Chief Executive Officer, to execute on our business plan and to identify and pursue new opportunities and product innovations. The loss of services of our senior management team, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may face the effects of increased competition and rapid technological changes.

The industry in which we are engaged is subject to rapid and significant technological change. There can be no assurance that our systems can be upgraded to meet future innovations which will be required to meet our customer’s requirements, or that new technologies will be adopted successfully by us, or existing technologies will not be improved, which would render the offerings obsolete or non-competitive. Companies we compete with enjoy significant competitive advantages, including greater name recognition; greater financial, technical, and service resources; established networks; additional product offerings; and greater resources for product development and sales and marketing.

There can be no assurance that other established networking technology companies, any of which would likely have greater resources than us, will not enter the market. In addition, new competitors may enter the marketplace and/or begin offering networking technology products and solutions and in channels similar to or competing with ours. Such competition may reduce demand for our products and impact the growth prospects and ability to achieve profitability, which may require us to raise new capital, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, and that would impair our ability to carry on operations.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against any of these competitors. Our failure to compete successfully with our competitors could harm our business.

We are dependent on skilled human capital.

Our ability to innovate and execute its business plans is dependent on the ability to hire, replace, and train skilled personnel. The employment market suffers from shortages of candidates, and such shortages may continue in future years, causing delays and preventing us from executing our plans.

Our results of operations are likely to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, which could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our results of operations, including our revenue, cost of revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, cash flow, and deferred revenue, have fluctuated from quarter to quarter and year to year in the past and may continue to vary significantly in the future so that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. Accordingly, our financial results in any one quarter should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance. Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, may be difficult to predict, and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly financial results include:

The impact of one or more of the foregoing or other factors may cause our results of operations to vary significantly. Such fluctuations make forecasting more difficult and could cause us to fail to meet the expectations of investors and securities analysts, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to fall substantially, resulting in the loss of all or part of your investment, and subject us to costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.

The loss of one or more of our significant customers, or any other reduction in the amount of revenue we derive from any such customer, would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

Our future success is dependent on our ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with a diverse set of customers.

We currently derive a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of our customers. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our top ten customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately 62% and 74% of our revenues.

We expect to continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers in the future and, in some cases, the portion of our revenue attributable to individual customers may increase. The loss of one or more significant customers or a reduction in the amount of revenue we derive from any such customer could significantly and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Customers may choose not to renew their contracts or may otherwise reduce the breadth of the offerings which they purchase for any number of reasons. We are also subject to the risk that any such customer will experience financial difficulties that prevent them from making payments to us on a timely basis or at all.

Our business, operating results and growth rates may be adversely affected by current or future unfavorable economic and market conditions and adverse developments with respect to financial institutions and associated liquidity risk.

Our business depends on the economic health of the global economies. If the conditions in the global economies remain uncertain or continue to be volatile, or if they deteriorate, including as a result of the impact of military conflict, such as the security situation in the Middle East, Russia and Ukraine, terrorism or other geopolitical events, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected. Economic weakness, inflation and increases in interest rates, limited availability of credit, liquidity shortages and constrained capital spending have at times in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in challenging and delayed sales cycles, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition, and could negatively affect our ability to forecast future periods, which could result in an inability to satisfy demand for our products and a loss of market share.

Our operations would be particularly vulnerable to potential interruptions in the supply of certain critical materials and metals, such as neon gas and palladium, which are used in semiconductor manufacturing. Any interruption to semiconductor chip supply could significantly impact our ability to receive the components and timely roll-out of our operations. Furthermore, any potential increase in geopolitical tensions in Asia, particularly in the Taiwan Strait, could also significantly disrupt existing semiconductor chip manufacturing and increase the prospect of an interruption to the semiconductor chip supply across the world. A significant portion of the world’s semiconductor manufacturing is in Taiwan, and similar geopolitical tensions there could create further supply chain disruptions, which could result in further delays for our products’ components.

The world’s largest semiconductor chip manufacturer is located in Taiwan and a large part of equipment and materials, is manufactured in, and imported from, Taiwan. A setback to the current state of relative peace and stability in the region could compromise existing semiconductor chip production and have downstream implications for our company. We are continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine, the Middle East and globally, and assessing its potential impact on our business.

In addition, increases in inflation raise our costs for commodities, labor, materials and services and other costs required to grow and operate our business, and failure to secure these on reasonable terms may adversely impact our financial condition. Additionally, increases in inflation, geopolitical developments and global supply chain disruptions, have caused, and may in the future cause, global economic uncertainty and uncertainty about the interest rate environment, which may make it more difficult, costly or dilutive for us to secure additional financing. A failure to adequately respond to these risks could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

There can be no assurance that future credit and financial market instability and a deterioration in confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, liquidity shortages, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, or if adverse developments are experienced by financial institutions, it may cause short-term liquidity risk and also make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly, more onerous with respect to financial and operating covenants and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance and stock price and could require us to alter our operating plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our service providers, financial institutions, manufacturers, suppliers and other partners may be adversely affected by the foregoing risks, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals on schedule and on budget.

The effects of health pandemics, such as the global COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, was first reported and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The widespread health crisis is adversely affecting the broader economies, financial markets and overall demand environment for many of our products.

Our operations and the operations of our suppliers, channel partners and customers were disrupted to varying degrees by a range of external factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of which are not within our control. Many governments imposed, and may yet impose, a wide range of restrictions on the physical movement of people in order to limit the spread of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, an impact on the attendance and productivity of our employees, and those of our channel partners or customers, resulting in negative impacts to our results of operations and overall financial performance. We suffered delays in realization of certain new orders from our customers, delay in testing of some of our new technologies in customer premises and difficulty conducting business development activities in an effective way (face-to-face). Additionally, COVID-19 has resulted in delays in non-residential construction, non-crisis-related IT purchases and project completion schedules in general, all of which can negatively impact our results in both current and future periods.

The duration and extent of any future epidemic or pandemic such as the COVID 19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of the virus, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, the effects of measures enacted by policy makers and central banks around the globe, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers, channel partners and suppliers. If we are not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, our business will be affected.

Our performance is affected by general economic and political conditions and taxation policies.

The success of our activities may be affected by general economic and market conditions, like interest rates, currency exchange rate fluctuations, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, and United States and international political circumstances. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair profitability or result in losses.

We may be adversely affected by the political and economic situation in the U.S., Europe and a number of countries in Asia.

The U.S. communications market is directly affected by economic developments in the U.S. economy. The European and Asian communications market is similarly reliant on political and economic stability in those regions. Changing trends in these markets may lead to a decrease in investments and a delay in projects, which could harm our business. To reduce our sensitivity to market changes, we operate in a large number of different vertical markets and territories.

Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in laws, regulations and tariffs related to government contracts.

Federal or state government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the Internet as a commercial medium. Legislators, regulators, or government bodies or agencies may also make legal or regulatory changes or interpret or apply existing laws or regulations that relate to government contracts. Changes in these laws, regulations or interpretations could require us to modify our platform in order to comply with these changes, to incur substantial additional costs or divert resources that could otherwise be deployed to grow our business, or expose us to unanticipated civil or criminal liability, among other things.

We are subject to laws and regulations worldwide, changes to which could increase our costs and individually or in the aggregate adversely affect our business.

We are subject to laws and regulations affecting our domestic and international operations in a number of areas. These U.S. and foreign laws and regulations affect our activities including, but not limited to, in areas of labor, health and safety, tax, import and export requirements, foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions, data privacy requirements, anti-competition, and environmental.

Compliance with these laws, regulations and similar requirements may be onerous and expensive, and they may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business. Any such costs, which may rise in the future as a result of changes in these laws and regulations or in their interpretation, could individually or in the aggregate make our products and services less attractive to our customers, delay the introduction of new products in one or more regions, or cause us to change or limit our business practices. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, or agents will not violate such laws and regulations or our policies and procedures.

Scrutiny of sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives could increase our costs or otherwise adversely impact our business.

Public companies have recently faced scrutiny related to ESG practices and disclosures from certain investors, capital providers, shareholder advocacy groups, other market participants and other stakeholder groups. Such scrutiny may result in increased costs, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, or other adverse impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our ESG practices and reporting do not meet investor or other stakeholder expectations, we may be subject to investor or regulator engagement regarding such matters. Our failure to comply with any applicable ESG rules or regulations could lead to penalties and adversely impact our reputation, access to capital and employee retention. Such ESG matters may also impact our third-party contract manufacturers and other third parties on which we rely, which may augment or cause additional impacts on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Risks Related to Protecting Our Technology and Intellectual Property

Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property could force us to incur significant costs or revise the way we conduct our business.

Our competitors protect their proprietary rights by means of patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property. We have not conducted an independent review of patents and other intellectual property issued to third parties, who may have patents or patent applications relating to our proprietary technology. We may receive letters from third parties alleging, or inquiring about, possible infringement, misappropriation, or violation of their intellectual property rights. Any party asserting that we infringe, misappropriate, or violate proprietary rights may force us to defend ourselves, and potentially our customers, against the alleged claim. These claims and any resulting lawsuit, if successful, could subject us to significant liability for damages or interruption or cessation of our operations. Any such claims or lawsuit could:

Furthermore, during the course of litigation, confidential information may be disclosed in the form of documents or testimony in connection with discovery requests, depositions or trial testimony. Disclosure of our confidential information and our involvement in intellectual property litigation could materially adversely affect our business. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of intellectual property litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any litigation could significantly harm our relationships with current and prospective customers. Any of the foregoing could disrupt our business and have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our patents and proprietary technology may be challenged or disputed.

We hold certain patent and trade secret rights relating to various aspects of our technologies, which are of material importance to the Company and its future prospects. Any patents we have obtained or do obtain may be challenged by re-examination or otherwise invalidated or eventually found unenforceable. Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent disputes can be time consuming and expensive. Competitors may attempt to challenge or invalidate our patents or may be able to design alternative techniques or devices that avoid infringement of our patents or develop products with functionalities that are comparable to ours. In the event a competitor infringes upon our patent or other intellectual property rights, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenge, even if successful, could be expensive and time consuming and could require significant time and attention from our management. We do not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against challenges from others.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.

Our success and ability to compete depend largely upon our intellectual property. To date, we have 16 registered patents in the United States; 3 registered patents in Europe, 1 registered patent in Mexico, 1 registered patent in Indonesia, one pending application in the United States and one pending application in Europe, all of which in the general area of high-speed carrier class Ethernet service and transport over bonded VDSL2, G.SHDSL as well as Fiber covering various aspects of our technology. We take reasonable steps to protect our intellectual property, especially when working with third parties. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. For example, other parties, including our competitors, may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our services, or design around our intellectual property and, in such cases, we may not be able to assert our intellectual property rights against such parties. Further, our contractual arrangements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information, and we may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights.

We make business decisions about when to seek patent protection for a particular technology and when to rely upon trade secret protection, and the approach we select may ultimately prove to be inadequate. Even in cases where we seek patent protection, there is no assurance that the resulting patents will effectively protect every significant feature of our technology or provide us with any competitive advantages. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that any of our pending patent application will issue or be approved. The United States Patent and Trademark Office and various foreign governmental patent agencies also require compliance with a number of procedurals, documentary, fee payment, and other similar provisions during the patent application process and after a patent has issued. There are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent, or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. If this occurs, our competitors might be able to enter the market, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Effective trademark, copyright, patent, and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we conduct business. Further, intellectual property law, including statutory and case law, in the United States and other countries, is constantly developing, and any changes in the law could make it harder for us to enforce our rights.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming, and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. An adverse determination of any litigation proceedings could put our intellectual property at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put our related pending patent applications at risk of not issuing. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation particularly in the US, there is a risk that some of our confidential or sensitive information could be compromised by disclosure in the event of litigation. In addition, during the course of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Negative publicity related to a decision by us to initiate such enforcement actions against a client or former client, regardless of its accuracy, may adversely impact our other client relationships or prospective client relationships, harm our brand and business, and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Our failure to secure, protect, and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our brand and our business.

The lives of our patents may not be sufficient to effectively protect our products and business.

Patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are paid timely, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years after its first effective nonprovisional filing date. Although various extensions may be available, the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and regulatory review of new product candidates, patents protecting such candidates might expire before or shortly after such product candidates are commercialized. Even if patents covering our product candidates are obtained, once the patent life has expired for a product, we may be open to competition from biosimilar or generic medications. As a result, our patent portfolio may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing product candidates similar or identical to ours. Our patents issued as of March 20, 2025 will expire on dates ranging up to October 31, 2038, subject to any patent extensions that may be available for such patents. More specifically, the following patents will expire over the next three years:, US7606315, US7613235, EP1943827, EP3459181, GB2556826, MX279453, US7587042, IDP0030744.

In addition, although upon issuance in the United States a patent’s life can be increased based on certain delays caused by the USPTO, this increase can be reduced or eliminated based on certain delays caused by the patent applicant during patent prosecution. A patent term extension based on regulatory delay may be available in the United States. However, only a single patent can be extended for each marketing approval, and any patent can be extended only once, for a single product. Moreover, the scope of protection during the period of the patent term extension does not extend to the full scope of the claim, but instead only to the scope of the product as approved. Laws governing analogous patent term extensions in foreign jurisdictions vary widely, as do laws governing the ability to obtain multiple patents from a single patent family. Additionally, we may not receive an extension if we fail to exercise due diligence during the testing phase or regulatory review process, apply within applicable deadlines, fail to apply prior to expiration of relevant patents or otherwise fail to satisfy applicable requirements. If we are unable to obtain patent term extension or restoration, or the term of any such extension is less than we request, the period during which we will have the right to exclusively market our product will be shortened and our competitors may obtain approval of competing products following our patent expiration and may take advantage of our investment in development and clinical trials by referencing our clinical and preclinical data to launch their product earlier than might otherwise be the case, and our revenue could be reduced, possibly materially. If we do not have sufficient patent life to protect our products, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

We may not be able to adequately defend against piracy of intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions.

Considerable research is being performed in countries outside of the United States, and a number of potential competitors are located in these countries. The laws protecting intellectual property in some of those countries may not provide adequate protection to prevent our competitors from misappropriating our intellectual property. Several of these potential competitors may be further along in the process of product development and also operate large, company-funded research and development programs. As a result, our competitors may develop more competitive or affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization than we are able to achieve. Competitive products may render any products that we develop obsolete.

Risks Related to Managing Our Business Operations in Israel

Geo-Political conditions in the Middle East and in Israel, where our research and development facilities are located, may harm our operations.

Our office where we conduct our research and development, operations, sales outside the Americas, and administration activities, is located in Israel. Many of our employees are residents of Israel. Most of our officers and directors are residents of Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring countries, and between Israel and the Hamas (an Islamist terror and political group in the Gaza Strip), Hezbollah (an Islamist terror and political group in Lebanon), and Iran, including its accomplices.

In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks. On January 19, 2025, a temporary ceasefire went into effect. On March 18, 2025 the ceasefire ended with the resumption of the war between Israel and Hamas.

In addition, since the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization) and on other fronts from various extremist groups in region, such as the Houthis in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. In October 2024, Israel began limited ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and in November 2024, a ceasefire was brokered between Israel and Hezbollah. In addition, Iran recently launched direct attacks on Israel involving hundreds of drones and missiles and has threatened to continue to attack Israel and is widely believed to be developing nuclear weapons. Iran is also believed to have a strong influence among extremist groups in the region, such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and various rebel militia groups in Syria and Iraq. These situations may potentially escalate in the future to more violent events which may affect Israel and us. Additionally, Yemeni rebel group, the Houthis, launched series of attacks on global shipping routes in the Red Sea, causing disruptions of supply chain. Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. In March 2026, hostilities resumed along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon, when Hezbollah resumed its attacks as part of a broader regional escalation. In response, Israel resumed military operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran, including attacks on strategic military infrastructure and leadership targets, with the stated aim of degrading Iran’s capacity to conduct or support hostile operations against them. In response, Iran has fired missiles and drones toward population centers and military installations in Israel, Europe and neighboring countries in the Gulf region, and also launched counter-strikes against U.S. forces and allied bases throughout the Gulf region

As of the date of this annual report, we have not been impacted by any absences of personnel at our service providers or counterparties located in Israel. Military service call ups that result in absences of personnel from us for an extended period of time may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. As of the date of this annual report, we currently have 39 full-time employees, with 33 employees located in Israel and 6 employees located outside of Israel.

Since the war broke out on October 7, 2023, our operations have not been adversely affected by this situation, and we have not experienced any material disruptions to our operations. We have the ability, if necessary, to shift our manufacturing from Israel to other countries where we have business partners, and we have not had customers in Israel in the last year. However, the intensity and duration of Israel’s current war is difficult to predict at this stage, as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general. If the ceasefires declared collapse or a new war commences or hostilities expand to other fronts, our operations may be adversely affected. 

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any armed conflicts or political instability in the region would likely negatively affect business conditions and could harm our results of operations. To-date, we have received Israeli government war related support funding of approximately $100,000.

The continued political instability and hostilities between Israel and its neighbors and any future armed conflict, terrorist activity or political instability in the region could adversely affect our operations in Israel and adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock. In addition, several organizations and countries may restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies have been and are today subjected to economic boycotts. The interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Finally, political conditions within Israel may affect our operations. Israel has held five general elections between 2019 and 2022, and prior to October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system, which sparked extensive political debate and unrest. Actual or perceived political instability in Israel or any negative changes in the political environment, may individually or in the aggregate adversely affect the Israeli economy and, in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. 

Actelis Israel received Israeli government grants for certain of our research and development activities, the terms of which require us to pay royalties and satisfy specified conditions in order to manufacture products and transfer technologies outside of Israel. If we fail to satisfy these conditions, we may be required to pay penalties and refund grants previously received.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Actelis Israel, which manages our research and development efforts, has been financed in part through royalty-bearing grants in an aggregate amount of approximately $14 million (plus accrued interest), received from the Israeli Innovation Authority (formerly known as the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Economy), or the IIA, as of December 31, 2025. We are committed to pay royalties at a rate of 3% on revenues up to the total amount of grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar and bearing interest at an annual rate of LIBOR applicable to U.S. dollar deposits.

We are further required to comply with the requirements of the Israeli Encouragement of Industrial Research, Development and Technological Innovation Law, 5744-1984 (formerly known as the Law for Encouragement of Research and Development in the Industry, 1984), as amended, and related regulations, or the Research Law, with respect to those past grants. When a grantee company develops know-how, technology or products using IIA grants, the terms of these grants and the Research Law restrict the transfer or license of such know-how, and the transfer of manufacturing or manufacturing rights of such products, technologies or know-how outside of Israel, without the prior approval of the IIA. Therefore, the discretionary approval of an IIA committee would be required for any transfer or license to third parties inside or outside of Israel of Actelis Israel’s know how or for the transfer outside of Israel of manufacturing or manufacturing rights related to those aspects of such technologies. We may not receive those approvals. Furthermore, the IIA may impose certain conditions on any arrangement under which it permits us to transfer technology or development outside of Israel.

The transfer or license of IIA-supported technology or know-how outside of Israel and the transfer of manufacturing of IIA-supported products, technology or know-how outside of Israel may involve the payment of significant amounts, depending upon the value of the transferred or licensed technology or know-how, our research and development expenses, the amount of IIA support, the time of completion of the IIA-supported research project and other factors. These restrictions and requirements for payment may impair our ability to sell, license or otherwise transfer our technology assets outside of Israel or to outsource or transfer development or manufacturing activities with respect to any product or technology outside of Israel. Furthermore, the consideration available to our shareholders in a transaction involving the transfer outside of Israel of technology or know-how developed with IIA funding (such as a merger or similar transaction) may be reduced by any amounts that we are required to pay to the IIA.

There are costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations.

Managing a business, operations, personnel or assets in another country is challenging and costly. Any management that we may have (whether based abroad or in the United States) may be inexperienced in cross-border business practices and unaware of significant differences in accounting rules, legal regimes, and labor practices. Even with a seasoned and experienced management team, the costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations, personnel, and assets can be significant (and much higher than in a purely domestic business) and may negatively impact our financial and operational performance.

Employment and other material contracts we have with our Israeli employees are governed by Israeli laws. Our inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under these agreements could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

All employees were asked to sign employment agreements that contain confidentiality, non-compete and assignment of intellectual property provisions. The employment agreements with our employees in Israel are governed by Israeli laws. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws and contracts in Israel may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. Our inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of these or future agreements could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Delay with respect to the enforcement of particular rules and regulations, including those relating to intellectual property, customs, tax, and labor, could also cause serious disruption to operations abroad and negatively impact our results.

Israeli courts have required employers seeking to enforce non-compete undertakings of a former employee to demonstrate that the competitive activities of the former employee will harm one of a limited number of material interests of the employer which have been recognized by the courts, such as the secrecy of a company’s confidential commercial information or the protection of its intellectual property. If we cannot demonstrate that such interests will be harmed, we may be unable to prevent our competitors from benefiting from the expertise of our former employees or consultants and our ability to remain competitive may be diminished.

In addition, Chapter 8 of the Israeli Patents Law, 5727-1967, or the Patents Law, deals with inventions made in the course of an employee’s service and during his or her term of employment, whether or not the invention is patentable, or service inventions. Section 134 of the Patents Law sets forth that if there is no agreement which explicitly determines whether the employee is entitled to compensation for the service inventions and the extent and terms of such compensation, such determination will be made by the Compensation and Rewards Committee, a statutory committee of the Israeli Patents Office. As a result, it is unclear if, and to what extent, our research and development employees may be able to claim compensation with respect to our future revenues. Such claims, if successfully asserted, could adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.

We may be adversely affected by fluctuations in the currency exchange rate of the Israeli Shekel.

A significant amount of our expenses are presented in Israeli Shekels, both expenses from employees and suppliers. Our customers buy our products priced in US dollars or Euros. The strengthening of the shekel against the dollar and the euro could erode our profitability. For example, the dollar depreciated against the NIS during 2025 by approximately 12.5%. We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Israel or the rate of devaluation (if any) of the NIS against the dollar. If the dollar cost of our operations in Israel increases, our dollar-measured results of operations will be adversely affected.

Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate and additional tax liabilities, including those resulting from our international operations or the implementation of new tax rules, could harm our future results.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and Israel. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions and complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. Tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate may change as a result of factors outside of our control or relevant taxing authorities may disagree with our determinations as to the income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. In addition, changes in tax and trade laws, treaties or regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, have become more unpredictable and may become more stringent, which could materially adversely affect our tax position.

Forecasting our estimated annual effective tax rate is complex and subject to uncertainty, and there may be material differences between our forecasted and actual effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates, certain non-deductible expenses, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, adjustments to income taxes upon finalization of tax returns, changes in available tax attributes, decision to repatriate non-U.S. earnings for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes, and changes in federal, state, or international tax laws and accounting principles.

Finally, we may be subject to income tax audits throughout the world. An adverse resolution of one or more uncertain tax positions in any period could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition for that period.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention, and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the listing standards of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. The requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. For example, the Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

As a result of disclosure of information in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition is more visible, which may result in an increased risk of threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and results of operations could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The individuals who now constitute our senior management team have limited experience managing a publicly-traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our senior management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition to a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and our compliance with the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions and relief from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These provisions include, but are not limited to: requiring only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosures; being exempt from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; being exempt from any rules that could be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotations or a supplement to the auditor’s report on financial statements; being subject to reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and not being required to hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or on any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, while we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to comply with any new financial accounting standard until such standard is generally applicable to private companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that are not “emerging growth companies” or elect not to avail themselves of this provision.

We may remain an “emerging growth company” until as late as December 31, 2027, the fiscal year-end following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, though we may cease to be an “emerging growth company” earlier under certain circumstances, including if (1) we have more than $1.07 billion in annual net revenues in any fiscal year, (2) we become a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year or (3) we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

The exact implications of the JOBS Act are still subject to interpretations and guidance by the SEC and other regulatory agencies, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to take advantage of all of the benefits of the JOBS Act. In addition, investors may find our common stock less attractive to the extent we rely on the exemptions and relief granted by the JOBS Act. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may decline or become more volatile.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, our shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.

As a public company, we are subject to significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. In addition, we are required, pursuant to Section 404, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the second annual report following the completion of our IPO. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual and interim financial statements will not be detected or prevented on a timely basis.

The rules governing the standards that must be met for our management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation. Testing and maintaining internal controls may divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to our business. Once we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” or a “smaller reporting company”, our auditors will be required to issue an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal controls on an annual basis.

Although as of December 31, 2025, the company reported that it has effective internal controls over financial reporting, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer from material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the future. If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in the future, such failure could result in a material misstatement of our annual or quarterly financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and which could cause investors and other users to lose confidence in our financial statements, limit our ability to raise capital and have a negative effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares. Additionally, failure to remediate the material weakness or otherwise maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting may also negatively impact our operating results and financial condition, impair our ability to timely file our periodic and other reports with the SEC, subject us to additional litigation and regulatory actions and cause us to incur substantial additional costs in future periods relating to the implementation of remedial measures.

In the future, it is possible that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified that we may be unable to remedy before the requisite deadline for these reports. Our ability to comply with the annual internal control reporting requirements will depend on the effectiveness of our financial reporting and data systems and controls across our company. Any weaknesses or deficiencies or any failure to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation or operation of these controls, could harm our operating results and cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, or result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements, which could adversely affect our business and reduce our stock price.

If we are unable to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404, our independent registered public accounting firm may not issue an unqualified opinion. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, stockholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404, or any subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to our financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We are required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis and our management is required to assess the effectiveness of these controls annually. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, however they will not be required to do so for so long as we are an emerging growth company. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years (i.e., until December 31, 2027). An independent assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting could detect problems that our management’s assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting could lead to restatements of our financial statements and require us to incur the expense of remediation.

Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

We are subject to certain reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements or insufficient disclosures due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

An active trading market may not develop for our securities.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, we cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our Company will lead to the development of an active trading market in our common stock or how liquid that market might become. If such a market does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock at the time you wish to sell them, at a price that is attractive to you, or at all.

The trading market for our common stock in the future could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:

Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Additionally, moving forward we anticipate having a limited number of shares in our public float, and as a result, there could be extreme fluctuations in the price of our common stock.

Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.

In the future, we may need to raise additional capital through equity and debt financings in order to fund our operations. If we raise capital through equity financings in the future, that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We also expect to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per-share value of our common stock to decline.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, the ability of common stockholders to achieve a return on investment will depend on appreciation, if any, in the price of our common stock.

You should not rely on an investment in our common stock to provide dividend income. We do not plan to declare or pay any dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business. Any credit agreements, which we may enter into with institutional lenders, may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any other factors that the board of directors decides is relevant. Therefore, any return on your investment in our capital stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the capital stock.

Future sales of our common stock, or the perception that future sales may occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or the Charter, authorizes us to issue up to 42,803,774 shares consisting of 30,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, 2,803,774 shares of non-voting common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2025, we had 8,058,392 outstanding shares of common stock and no outstanding shares of preferred stock.

In addition, as of such date, approximately 3,853 shares of common stock were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and 173,473 shares vesting of restricted stock units. Moreover, as of that date, approximately 6,750 shares of our common stock are available for future grants under our stock incentive plan and for future purchase under our employee stock purchase plan. In addition, as of such date, none shares of common stock are issuable pursuant to our ATM Program with HCW.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may lose all or part of your investments.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

In addition, extreme price and volume fluctuations in the stock markets have affected and continue to affect many technology companies’ stock prices. Often, their stock prices have fluctuated in ways unrelated or disproportionate to the companies’ operating performance. In the past, securities action litigation has often been brought against a Company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially relevant for us because technology companies have experienced significant stock price volatility in recent years. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.

A possible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of our common stock that largely exceeds supply may lead to price volatility in our common stock.

Investors may purchase our common stock to hedge existing exposure in our common stock or to speculate on the price of our common stock. Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the price of our common stock until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional common stock to cover their short position. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in our common stock that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our common stock and once investors purchase the shares of common stock necessary to cover their short position the price of our common stock may decline.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our common stock would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. In addition, if our operating results fail to meet the forecast of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current board of directors and limit the market price of our common stock.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or the Charter, and bylaws, or the Bylaws, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our Charter and Bylaws, include provisions that:

Moreover, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company. Section 203 imposes certain restrictions on mergers, business combinations, and other transactions between us and holders of 15% or more of our common stock.

Our Charter provides that derivative actions brought on our behalf, actions against our directors, officers, employees or agent for breach of fiduciary duty and certain other actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and the stockholders shall be deemed to have consented to this choice of forum provision, which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors, officers, other employees or agents.

Our Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or other wrongdoing by, any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or our Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (d) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (e) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (f) any action asserting an “internal corporate claim” as that term is defined in Section 115 of the General Corporation Law. The federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint, claim or proceeding asserting a cause of action arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provision in our Charter.

The choice-of-forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees, and may result in increased costs to a stockholder who has to bring a claim in a forum that is not convenient to the stockholder, which may discourage such lawsuits. Although under Section 115 of the DGCL, exclusive forum provisions may be included in a company’s certificate of incorporation, the enforceability of similar forum provisions in other companies’ certificates or incorporation or bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the exclusive forum provision of our Charter inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

We had leased a facility in Fremont, California, which consisted of approximately 3,000 square feet of office, lab and warehouse space through October 2025. We vacated the Fremont facility on November 6, 2025 and moved our business location to a Regus/HQ.com hosted facility in Sunnyvale, and established a service agreement with a Loveland, CO based company to host our inventory, testing lab and provide services as needed for customer success. Our occupation of the Sunnyvale facility runs on a monthly basis, with an initial one-year commitment which runs through October 2026. Our inventory hosting services in Loveland will run on a continuous basis until terminated.

The lease in Petach Tikva, Israel terminated December 31, 2025 and we signed a new amendment with the same landlord in the same building for a different suite and warehouse approximately 50% smaller for through December 2027. This downsizing effort was done in an effort to refit our lease to conform to our current needs and for cost savings purposes.

We believe our facilities are sufficient to meet our current needs and that suitable space will be available as and when needed. We do not own any real property.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in “Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

Actelis Networks, Inc. (“Actelis,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” “our company”) is a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid-deployment networking solutions for wide-area IoT applications including federal, state and local government, intelligent traffic systems (“ITS”), military, utility, rail, telecom and campus applications. Our unique portfolio of hybrid fiber, environmentally hardened aggregation switches, high density Ethernet devices, advanced management software and cyber-protection capabilities, unlocks the hidden value of essential networks, delivering safer connectivity for rapid, cost-effective deployment.

Our networking solutions use a combination of newly deployed fiber infrastructure and existing copper and coaxial lines which our patented technology can upgrade to Fiber-grade to jointly create what we believe to be a highly cost-effective, secure, and quick-to-deploy network. Our patent protected hybrid fiber networking solutions deliver excellent communication over fiber to locations that may be easy to reach with new fiber. However, for locations that are difficult, or too costly to reach with fiber, we can upgrade existing copper lines to deliver cyber-hardened, high-speed connectivity without needing to replace the existing copper infrastructure with new fiber. We believe that such hybrid fiber copper networking solution has distinct advantages in most real-life installations, while providing significant budget savings and accelerating deployment of modern IoT networks. Based on our experience, most IoT projects have challenging, hard to reach with fiber locations which may explode such projects’ timeline and budgets. We believe that our solutions can provide connectivity over either fiber or copper with speeds of up to multi-Gigabit communication, while supporting Fiber-grade reliability and quality.

A primary focus of ours is to provide our customers with a cyber-secure network solution. We currently offer Triple-Shield protection of data delivered with coding, scrambling and encryption of the network traffic. We also provide secure, encrypted access to our network management software, and are working to further enhance system-level and device-level software protection. We are also working to introduce additional capabilities for network-wide cyber protection software as an additional SW and license-based services.

When high speed, long reach, reliable and secure connectivity is required, network operators usually resort to using wireline communication over physical communication lines such as fiber, coax, and copper, rather than wireless communication that is more limited in performance, reliability, reach and security. However, new fiber wireline infrastructure is costly to deploy, involves lengthy civil works to install, and, based on our internal calculations, often accounts for more than 50% of total cost of ownership (ToC) and time to deploy wide-area IoT projects.

Providing new fiber connectivity to hard-to-reach locations is especially costly and time-consuming, often requiring permits for boring, trenching, and right-of-way, sometimes done over many miles. Connecting such hard-to-reach locations may cause significant delays and budget overruns in IoT projects. Our solutions aim to solve these challenges by instantly enhancing performance of such existing copper and coax infrastructure to fiber-grade performance, through the use of advanced signal processing and unique, patented network architecture, without the need to run new fiber to hard-to-reach locations; thus, effectively accelerating deployment of many IoT projects, as we estimate, sometimes from many months to only days. The result for the network owner is a hybrid network that optimizes the use of both new Fiber (where available) as well as upgraded, fiber-grade copper and coax that is now modernized, digitized and cyber-hardened. This unique hybrid network approach is making IoT projects often significantly more affordable, fast to deploy and predictable to plan and budget.

In addition, our solutions can also provide power over existing copper and coax lines to remotely power up network elements and IoT components connected to them (like cameras, small cell and Wi-Fi base stations sensors etc.). Connecting power lines to millions of IoT locations can be costly and very time consuming as well (similar to data connectivity, for the same reason — need for civil works). By offering the ability to combine power delivery over the same existing copper and coax lines that we use for high-speed data, we believe our solutions are solving yet another important challenge in connecting hard-to-reach locations. We believe that combining communication and power over the same existing lines is particularly important to help connect many fifth generation, or 5G, small cells and Wi-Fi base stations, as high cost of connectivity and power is often slowing their deployment.

Since our inception, our business was focused on serving telecommunication service providers, also known as Telcos, to provide connectivity for enterprises and residential customers. Our products and solutions have been deployed with more than 100 telecommunication service providers worldwide, in enterprise, residential and mobile base station connectivity applications. In recent years, as we have further developed our technology and introduced additional products, we turned our focus on serving the wide-area IoT, federal and DoW markets, as well as multi-dwelling units, and introduced, in 2024, our cyber-aware networking solutions for IoT markets as well.

Our operations are focused on our fast-growing federal and DoW markets, Intelligent Transportation and MDUs while maintaining our commitment to our existing Telco customers. In 2024, we introduced new product offering, some of which could serve both the IoT markets and our Telco customers.

In August 2024, we announced signing a strategic partnership with an advanced cybersecurity provider to develop and deliver a novel, AI-Powered SaaS offering, under Actelis’ ‘Cyber Aware Networking’ initiative. This software, designed as an intelligence layer integrated into Actelis’ networking devices, leverages the network’s power and proximity to IoT devices to monitor and protect physical assets such as cameras, sensors, and other devices at the edge, enabling corrective actions before issues propagate throughout the network.

We derive a majority of our revenues from our existing and new IoT (including federal and DoW) customers. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our IoT customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately 73% and 72% of our revenues, respectively.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of our customers. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our top ten customers in the aggregate accounted for approximately 62% and 74% of our revenues.

In February 2024, we entered into the Credit Line. The Credit Line is secured by customer invoices and incurs interest at a Federal SOFR rate plus 5.5%. The Credit Line was extended until February 1, 2026. As of the date hereof, the Company has not further extended the credit facility; however, it may do so in the future.

The Credit Line balance drawn is examined every month, adjusted up to every three months, and the repayment of the Credit Line is made up to every three months subject to the expiration of the financing period for the invoices that were financed. We may refinance newly issued invoices at any time up to the Credit Line limit and subject to the terms of the Credit Line. As of December 31, 2025 the current balance outstanding is approximately $479,234.

Results of Operations

The table below provides our results of operations for the periods indicated.

Year Ended December 31, 2025, Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024

Revenues

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $3.7 million, compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to software and services renewal last year for 2 years which will be up for renewal in 2027, as well as a large deal to the City of Washington D.C. last year, while 2025’s revenues are more backend loaded.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $2.5 million compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease from the corresponding period was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales which led to a decline in variable costs and fixed cost remaining constant.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $2.6 million compared to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is due to the strengthening of the Israeli shekel against the U.S. dollar which led to an increase in expenditure by approximately $151,000.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Our sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $2.9 million compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to engaging consultants to expand market reach in primarily the government sector.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $2.9 million compared to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to cost reduction measures taken, while these benefits were offset by higher costs driven by the strengthening of the Israeli shekel against the U.S. dollar.

Other Income

We had no other Income for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $163,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The income in 2024 is related to government grant from the State of Israel associated with the Iron Swords war.

Operating Loss

Our operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $7.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to the decline in sales, while operating expenditure remained consistent and increased operating expenses by $0.3 million driven by the strengthening of the Israeli shekel against the U.S. dollar by approximately 7%. 

Financial Expenses (income), Net

Our financial expenses, net for the year ended December 31, 2025, was approximately $1.08 million of interest expense, compared to $620,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 The increase is mainly due to expenditure of $750,000 related to the Commitment Fee under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement payable in common shares issuance.

Net Loss

Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $8.3 million, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to lower sales while operating expenditure remained consistent, as well as due to a one-time financial commitment expenditure of $750,000. In addition, the Israeli shekel strengthened by an average of 7% against the U.S. dollar, leading to higher operating expenses and contributing to increase in net loss.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin are Non-GAAP financial measures. Their most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) are GAAP net loss and GAAP net loss margin. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we provide Non-GAAP supplemental operating results adjusted for certain items, including: financial expenses, which are interest, financial instrument fair value adjustments, exchange rate differences of assets and liabilities, stock based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, tax expense, and impact of development expenses ahead of product launch. We adjust for the items listed above and show non-GAAP financial measures in all periods presented, unless the impact is clearly immaterial to our financial statements.

We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments but not for comparison to budgeted operating results. We believe the supplemental adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees and optimizes our business operations on a day-to-day basis. We exclude the costs described above in calculating adjusted results to allow us and investors to evaluate the performance of the business based upon its expected ongoing operating structure. We believe the adjusted measures, accompanied by the disclosure of the types of expenses included in these adjustments, provides valuable insight to our financial performance. Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to GAAP.

The non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. They should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided above for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, debt financing, convertible loans and royalty-bearing grants that we received from the Israel Innovation Authority. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. We also received proceeds of $15.4 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs of $1.0 million, following our IPO in May 2022. In May and December 2023, proceeds of $4.6 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs of $0.4 million, were also received following our private placements.

July 2025 Private Placement

On June 30, 2025, we entered into the July 2025 Purchase Agreement with certain accredited Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in the July 2025 Private Placement (a) 162,602 shares of Common Stock, (b) Series A-3 Warrants to purchase up to 162,602 shares of Common Stock, and (c) Series A-4 Warrants to purchase up to 325,204 shares of Common Stock, for a purchase price of $6.15 per share and related July 2025 Common Warrants, for a total aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1 million. The July 2025 Private Placement closed on July 2, 2025.

The Series A-3 Warrants have an exercise price of $6.15 per share, are exercisable commencing on the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date and expire five years following the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date. On November 7, 2025, the July 2025 Shareholder Approval was obtained in a special meeting of our shareholders, resulting in the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date being such date.

The Series A-4 Warrants have an exercise price of $6.15 per share, are exercisable commencing on the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date and expire eighteen months following the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date.

HCW acted as the Placement Agent for the issuance and sale of the Securities. The Company has agreed to pay an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the Offering and $35,000 for accountable expenses to the placement agent. The Company also agreed to issue to the Placement Agent, or its designees, July 2025 Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 7.0% of the aggregate number of the shares of Common Stock sold to the Investors (or warrants to purchase up to 11,382 shares of Common Stock) at an exercise price per share of $7.688 which will be exercisable commencing on the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date and a have term of five years after the July 2025 Shareholder Approval Date.

September 2025 Warrant Inducement

On September 2, 2025, we entered into the Inducement Letter with a Holder of certain of the Company’s Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 427,020 shares of the Company’s common stock, consisting of (i) 127,119 warrants issued on December 20, 2023 with an expiration date of June 20, 2029 at an exercise price of $11.8 per share (ii) 99,967 warrants issued on June 6, 2024 with an expiration date of December 6, 2029 at an exercise price of $20.00 per share and (iii) 199,934 warrants issued on July 2, 2024 with an expiration date of July 2, 2026 at an exercise price of $17.50 per share.

Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, the Holder agreed to exercise for cash the Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 427,020 shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price of $3.70 per share in consideration of the Company’s agreement to issue the New Warrants, as descried below, to purchase up to an aggregate of 640,530 New Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $3.70 per share. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants by the Holder, before deducting financial advisory fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

Rodman & Renshaw LLC and HCW acted as financial advisors to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Inducement Letter. Pursuant to an engagement letter with HCW, the Company has agreed to pay the financial advisors a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the Holder’s exercise of the Existing Warrants, as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants and $25,000 paid for non-accountable expenses. The Company has also agreed to issue to the financial advisors or their designees the Inducement Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 29,891 shares of common stock (representing 7.0% of the Existing Warrants being exercised), which will have the same terms as the New Warrants having a term of five years of Stockholder Approval (as defined below) except the Inducement Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price equal to $4.625 per share (125% of the exercise price of the Existing Warrants).

The New Warrants have an exercise price equal to $3.70 per share. The New Warrants will be exercisable from the effective date (the “Warrant Stockholder Approval Date”) of shareholder approval (“Stockholder Approval”), until (i) the five-year anniversary of such date for 340,629 of the New Warrants and (ii) the twenty-four-month anniversary of such date for 299,901 of the New Warrants. The exercise price and number of New Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions, reorganizations, or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock and the exercise price. On November 7, 2025, the Warrant Stockholder Approval was obtained in a special meeting of our shareholder, resulting in the Warrant Stockholder Approval Date being such date.

The closing of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Inducement Letter occurred on September 3, 2025.

Provided that the Inducement Letter prohibited the Company from entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company involving a variable rate transaction, the Holder agreed to waive such prohibition with respect to the transactions contemplated by the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and signed an amendment to the Inducement Letter on October 9, 2025. Pursuant to such amendment, the Company issued to the Holder 10,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company on similar terms as the Series A-1 Warrants.

Equity Line of Credit Agreement

On September 27, 2025, we entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, with an effective date of October 1, 2025, and a related White Lion RRA with White Lion. Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $30,000,000 in aggregate Commitment Amount of newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

As consideration for White Lion’s irrevocable commitment to purchase the Company’s Common Stock up to the Commitment Amount, the Company agreed to issue shares of Common Stock to White Lion (the “Commitment Shares”) equal to $750,000 (the “Commitment Fee Amount”) divided by the lowest traded price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 business days prior to the issuance of the Commitment Shares. Upon mutual agreement with White Lion, the Company issued 1,704,545 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock exercisable into the Commitment Shares on December 31, 2025.

White Lion Private Placement

Concurrently on September 27, 2025, the Company entered into the PIPE Purchase Agreement with White Lion, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to White Lion in a private placement (the “Offering”) (i) 87,177 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 312,823 shares of Common Stock (for a purchase price of $2.125 per share of Common Stock and $2.124 per White Lion Pre-Funded Warrant, for a total aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $850,000. The Offering closed on September 29, 2025.

The Company had a right to redeem 48,826 of the shares of Common Stock at a redemption price of $0.001 per share. The Company and White Lion have agreed that, in lieu of such redemption, on October 20, 2025, the Company reduced the number shares issuable pursuant upon exercise of the White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants by 48,826 shares, to 263,997.

The White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock and will not expire until exercised in full. However, the Company may not issue a number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to exercise of the White Lion Pre-Funded Warrants in an amount that will not exceed the Exchange Cap when combined with the number of Shares issued in the Offering, before shareholder approval for further issuance beyond the Exchange Cap is obtained. The Company intends to obtain such shareholder approval concurrently with the Shareholder Approval required for the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement beyond the Exchange Cap.

December 2025 Offering

On December 17, 2025, we offered and sold in the December 2025 Offering (i) 4,352,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) 1,897,500 December 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants, and (iii) 6,250, December 2025 Common Warrants, at a purchase price of $0.80 per share of Common Stock and accompanying December 2025 Common Warrant, and $0.7999 per December 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying December 2025 Common Warrant. Aggregate gross proceeds from the December 2025 Offering (without taking into account any proceeds from any future exercises of December 2025 Warrants) were approximately $5 million. The Offering closed on December 19, 2025.

The December 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock and will not expire until exercised in full.

Each December 2025 Common Warrant has an exercise price of $0.80 per share, is exercisable immediately on upon issuance and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance.

HCW acted as the sole placement agent, on a “best efforts” basis, in connection with the Offering. On March 3, 2025, the Company and HCW had entered into the Engagement Agreement with the Company to serve as exclusive underwriter, agent or advisor in any offering of securities of the Company for a six-month term. The Engagement Agreement has been extended twice since its initial effectiveness and currently runs through March 12, 2026 . Under the Engagement Agreement, as extended, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Offering, as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering. The Company also agreed under the Engagement Agreement to reimburse the Placement Agent $25,000 for non-accountable expenses and up to $100,000 for fees and expenses of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses of the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Company will issue to the Placement Agent or its designees 437,500 December 2025 Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 437,500 shares of Common Stock, representing 7.0% of the sum of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants to be sold in the Offering. The December 2025 Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock (representing 125% of the public offering price per Share and accompanying Common Warrant), are exercisable for five years from the date of the commencement of sales in this offering, and otherwise reflect substantially the same terms as the December 2025 Common Warrants. The Engagement Agreement contains representations, warranties, indemnification and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

The net proceeds to the Company from the December 2025 Offering are approximately $4.46 million after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes.

In September 2024, we entered into the ATM Agreement with HCW pursuant to which we may offer and sell, at our option, up to $16.7 million of our shares of common stock through an at-the-market equity program under which HCW agreed to act as sales agent. As of the date of this report, we have sold 4,646,045 of our shares of common stock for total gross proceeds of approximately $4.7 million under the ATM program. As of the date of this filing and so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million, we are subject to limitations pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, which limits the amount we can offer to up to one-third of our public float during any trailing 12-month period.

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and net loss was $8.3 million and $4.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had negative cash flows from operations of $8.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, our accumulated deficit was $52 million. We have funded our operations to date through equity and debt financing and have cash on hand (including short term bank deposits and restricted cash equivalents) of $4.4 million and long-term restricted bank deposits of $30 thousand and long term deposit of $91 thousand as of December 31, 2025. We monitor our cash flow projections on a current basis and take active measures to obtain the funding it requires to continue our operations. However, these cash flow projections are subject to various uncertainties concerning their fulfilment such as the ability to increase revenues by attracting and expanding its customer base or reducing cost structure. If we are not successful in generating sufficient cash flow or completing additional financing, including debt refinancing which shall release restricted cash, then we will need to execute a new cost reduction plan in addition to previous cost reduction plans that were executed so far. Our transition to profitable operations is dependent on generating a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure. We expect to fund operations using cash on hand, through operational cash flows and raising additional proceeds. There are no assurances, however, that we will be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our cost structure or that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing necessary for our operations. Management has evaluated the significance of these conditions and has determined that we do not have sufficient resources to meet our operating obligations for at least one year from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our future capital requirements will be affected by many factors, including our revenue growth, the timing and extent of investments to support such growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, increases in general and administrative costs, repayment of principal of our existing credit line, working capital to support securing raw material supply and many other factors as described under “Risk Factors.”

To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, and cannot generate significant recurring revenues, profit and cash flow provided by operating activity, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds. However, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, inflation, economic uncertainty, as well as the war between Russia and the Ukraine and Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah, has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Cash Flows

The table below, for the periods indicated, provides selected cash flow information:

As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $4.4 million compared to $2.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2024.

Cash used in operating activities (including the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash) amounted to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase from the corresponding period was mainly due to lower sales.

Net cash used by investing activities was $8,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $197,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease from the corresponding period was mainly due to the reduction in short-term bank deposits.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase from the corresponding period was mainly driven by proceeds from sales of common stocks in an at the market (ATM) offering, proceeds from private placements which occurred in July and September 2025, a follow-on securities offering which occurred in December 2025 and proceeds from a warrant inducement transaction which occurred in September 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the audited consolidated financial statements which are included elsewhere in this report. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period.

Actelis bases its estimates primarily on historical and anticipated operations, market and customer trends and feedback, financial factors and indicators (for example, interest rates, volatility of market share price etc.), product quality and manufacturing expectations, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events.

Management considers accounting estimates to be critical if both (i) the nature of the estimate or assumption is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (ii) the impact within a reasonable range of outcomes of the estimate and assumption is material to the Actelis financial condition.

Management believes the following addresses the most critical accounting policies and estimates, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Critical judgement and estimates

Critical judgement and estimates have been used primarily in estimating revenues and estimate of future usage of existing inventory to determine the net value of our inventory (see notes in financial statements).

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (cost is determined on a weighted average cost method) or net realizable value. We regularly evaluate the carrying value of our inventories in order to identify obsolete or excess inventory based on estimates of future demand for our products to support future sales and service and we use information of historical usage and our short and long-term pipeline of opportunities. We also assess the product volume requirement for replacement and repair of products in order to serve our installed base during and post warranty periods If our demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand and we fail to reduce purchasing and manufacturing output accordingly, we could be required to write off inventory beyond the current reserve, which would negatively impact our gross margin. When, based on such evaluation, factors indicate that impairment has occurred, we impair the inventories’ carrying value.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s products consist of hardware and embedded software that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. The embedded software is essential to the functionality of the Company’s products. The Company’s products are generally sold with a two-year warranty for repairs or replacements of the product in the event of damage or failure during the term of the support period, which is accounted for as a standard warranty. Services relating to repair or replacement of hardware beyond the standard warranty period are offered under renewable, fee-based contracts and include telephone support, remote diagnostics and access to on-site technical support personnel. 

The Company also offers its customers other management software. The Company sells its other non-embedded software either as perpetual or as term-based licenses.

The Company provides, to certain customers, software updates that it chooses to develop, which the Company refers to as unspecified software updates, and enhancements related to the Company’s management software through support service contracts. The Company also offers its customers product support services which include telephone support, remote diagnostics and access to on-site technical support personnel.

The Company’s customers are comprised of end-users, resellers, system integrators and distributors.

The Company follows five steps to record revenue: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) it satisfies its performance obligations.

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. The Company’s contracts do not include additional discounts once the product price is set, right of returns, significant financing components or any forms of variable consideration.

The Company uses the practical expedient and does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and revenue recognition is less than a year. The Company’s service period is for one or more years and is paid for either up front or on a quarterly basis.

Some of our contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations, and we make estimates and judgments to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on an observable or estimated standalone selling price (“SSP”). The SSP is the price, or estimated price, of the software or service when sold on a standalone basis. We consider our evaluation of SSP to be a critical accounting estimate.

An observable price of a good or service sold separately provides the best evidence of SSP. However, in many situations, SSP will not be readily observable, but must still be estimated using reasonably available information. We have observable standalone selling prices of our management software, of our hardware products including the embedded software within, and our services offerings and their costs, and therefore use historical transaction data on a standalone basis, our pricing models, along with our judgment, to establish SSP ranges for each of these elements.. As such, the establishment of SSP of our hardware, management software, maintenance and other services, and directly impact the amount of revenues recognized, and therefore also impacts the overall timing of revenue recognition.

We review and analyze the SSP ranges we have from time to time but no more than annually, which have not changed in 2025. In the future, SSP for our software and services could be impacted by various factors, including potential changes in our pricing practices, customer demand for our products and services, and various market or economic conditions. However, we consider the risk of significant volatility in our established SSP to be small given our historical transaction experience and internal processes to monitor SSP ranges on an ongoing basis and work with management in the event a trend that could impact the future ranges is detected.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1b to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities and has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2025. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1b. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
