Geneva, Switzerland – September 25, 2024: SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announces its unaudited financial results for the six month period ending June 30, 2024 (H1 2024) and provides updates on strategic business initiatives highlighting its continued commitment to innovation, including the launch of quantum-resistant secure chips set to position the Company for future growth in the cybersecurity industry.

 

H1 2024 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

As anticipated, 2024 has been a transitional year for SEALSQ. Revenue for H1 2024 was $4.8 million, reflecting the expected slowdown in traditional semiconductor demand, mainly due to two key factors: excess component inventories post-capacity shortage at legacy customers and a decrease in orders for legacy products from large customers as they await ordering availability for next-generation chips.

 

Despite this temporary downturn, SEALSQ expects improved financial and operational performance in H2 2024, subject to the finalization of previously announced projects and partnerships, and a return to growth in 2025. Of note, the Company’s robust pipeline of current and new business opportunities valued at $71 million as of September 20, 2024, is driven by the launch of the next generation of semiconductors, which SEALSQ expects to release in 2025 and with the first revenues anticipated in 2026.

 

Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ noted, “During the first half of the year, we took several steps to bolster our position in the markets we operate on a global scale. We invested $2.4 million in research and development initiatives, expanded our US-based sales team, made significant progress towards the establishment of several OSAT cybersecurity chip design and customization centers, secured global partnerships, and made advancements in the development of our post-quantum chips. Representative of this progress, we are now preparing to release engineering samples of our QS7001 Quantum-Resistant Secure Chips before the end of the year. With a strong cash position of $18.9 million at June 30, 2024, SEALSQ is well-equipped to weather the current slowdown and continue funding our strategic initiatives.”

 

 

 

 

Expectations are supported by several key growth factors including the expansion of Matter certification, global adoption of new IoT security standards such as the US Cyber Trust Mark or the EU Cyber Resilience Act, and SEALSQ’s strong value proposition on the PKI market for both IoT device makers segment and GSMA eUICC manufacturers and service providers. This has been reflected by new agreements signed in H1 2024, both with existing clients in the healthcare industry in the US and new customers in Asia (D-Link, HOSIDEN) and Europe (In Lite), mostly around smart home applications.

 

PROGRESS ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

 

Launch of Quantum-Resistant Secure Chips

SEALSQ remains on track to launch its range of Quantum-Resistant Secure Chips, including the QS7001 and QVault TPM, by Q4 2024. Engineering samples of the QS7001 are expected to be available for order by Q4 2024, with the TPM version ready by year-end. These chips are built on a RISC-V Quantum Resistant and CCEAL5+ hardware platform, designed for Kyber and Dilithium quantum-resistant algorithms. The QS7001 will allow customers to develop their own firmware, while the QVault TPM will feature a pre-provisioned, FIPS 140-3 and TCG-certified Trusted Platform Module stack.

 

Strategic Partnerships and Custom Solutions

SEALSQ is actively pursuing strategic partnerships with major electronics manufacturers to develop custom quantum-resistant chips based on the QS7001. These partnerships are key to SEALSQ’s broader industrial strategy and are expected to create new business opportunities and revenue streams. The Company’s efforts to establish Semiconductor Design and Personalization Centers will further support its customization activities.

 

In parallel, SEALSQ is developing a channel strategy by partnering with module and electronic board designers and manufacturers, like Hosiden in Japan and Bharat Pi in India. These companies have integrated SEALSQ VaultIC Secure Element into their semi-finished electronic products used by IoT device manufacturers to build consumer products like smart home appliances compatible with Matter standard. Each of these partnerships is expected to significantly contribute to generating new opportunities and accelerating growth in the coming months.

 

Global Expansion and OSAT Developments

SEALSQ is in final negotiations with the Spanish government to establish a Semiconductor Design and Personalization Center in Murcia. This collaboration supports Spain's Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation of Microelectronics and Semiconductors (PERTE Chip), which aims to mobilize €12.25 billion by 2027.

 

In the United States, SEALSQ has incorporated SEALSQ USA Ltd as part of its plan to develop an Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility. This facility would offer advanced testing and assembly services and would focus on post-quantum cryptography and artificial intelligence. SEALSQ is also exploring funding opportunities under government incentive schemes, including those provided by the US CHIPS Act of 2022.

 

Additionally, SEALSQ is in negotiations for two significant projects in the Middle East and Far East to establish Semiconductor Personalization Centers through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP).

 

Root Certificate Authority Approval and PKI Services

By leveraging the WISeKey Root Certificate Authority, which attained GSMA Root CI accreditation in Q1 2024, SEALSQ PKI can now enable eUICC and Subscription Management entities to identify and authenticate within the GSMA remote provisioning Consumer ecosystem, facilitating security and interoperability. 

 

 

 

 

Of note, in 2023, SEALSQ’s Root Certificate Authority was approved by the CSA for Matter device attestation, positioning the Company as a Product Attestation Authority (PAA). SEALSQ offers Device Attestation Certificates (DACs) through its INeS managed “PKI as a Service” platform, enabling businesses to authenticate devices without investing in costly hardware infrastructure.

 

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

 

The balance sheet reflects a strong cash position of $18.9 million at June 30, 2024, enabling the Company to continue funding its operations for the foreseeable future. This strengthened cash position, up $12 million since December 31, 2023, is largely a result of $20 million of additional funds raised through Share Purchase Agreements (the “Agreements”) structured via three tranches, signed with a group of institutional investors (the “Investors”). The Company’s strong cash position also enabled it to pay down some of its debts to related parties leading to an overall $3.6 million reduction in debts to related parties.

 

As of June 30, 2024, through conversions into Ordinary Shares, the first tranche was fully repaid , while the second tranche was almost 90% repaid; subsequently, the remaining balance of the second tranche has now been fully repaid. The only balance remaining outstanding is that relating to the third tranche. Since the first and second tranches have been fully repaid, the Company intends to take action to deregister the remaining unsold securities on the Registration Statements on Form F-1 related to those tranches (Reg. Nos. 333- 273793 and 333-276877). Upon such deregistrations, the only resale registration statement remaining in effect would be relating to the third tranche (Reg. No. 333-278685).

 

The Company’s balance sheet is now in a much stronger position as a result of the reduction in the Company’s net debt position when considering the cash and cash equivalents held, offset by the Convertible Note liabilities and Indebtedness towards Related Parties.

 

The Company does note that the current price of its Ordinary Shares means that any conversions made by the Investors related to the outstanding balance of the third tranche, as per the terms and conditions of the Agreements, would be below the floor price. The Agreements set the floor price at $0.55 whilst stating that the floor price can be adjusted upon a mutual agreement between the Company and the Investors. Whilst the Company has not formally amended the floor price, it has done so previously, and the Company considers it would be inclined to agree to a reduction in the floor price should one be requested. Based upon the terms of the Agreements, the Company has calculated that the total number of shares registered under the third tranche registration statement would still exceed the number of shares likely to be issued if the entire remaining balance were to be converted today.

5.Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1.       The SEALSQ Group

 

SEALSQ Corp, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“SEALSQ” or the “Group” or the “SEALSQ Group”), has its headquarters in Tortola, BVI. SEALSQ Corp, the parent of the SEALSQ Group, was incorporated in April 2022 and is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market exchange with the valor symbol “LAES” since May 23, 2023.

 

On January 1, 2023, SEALSQ Corp acquired SEALSQ France (formerly WISeKey Semiconductors SAS), a private joint stock company (French Simplified Joint Stock Company), and its subsidiaries. Prior to that acquisition, SEALSQ did not have any operations. As further described in the notes below, the acquisition qualified as a reverse recapitalization.

 

SEALSQ designs, develops and markets secure semiconductors worldwide as a fabless manufacturer. It provides added security and authentication layers on its semiconductors which can be tailored to customers’ needs. As an advanced chip designer, the Group holds the intellectual property (IP) for the semiconductors it sells.

 

SEALSQ is also accredited as a Product Attestation Authority (PAA) and, as such, can issue MATTER Device Attestation Certificates (DAC).

 

The Group anticipates being able to generate profits in the near future thanks to the increased focus on the security and authentication of IT components and networks.

 

Note 2.       Future operations and going concern

 

The Group recorded a loss from operations in this reporting period and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern.

 

The Group incurred a net operating loss of USD 8.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and had positive working capital of USD 18.8 million as at June 30, 2024, calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Based on the Group’s cash projections up to September 30, 2025, SEALSQ has sufficient liquidity to fund operations.

 

We note that, historically, the Group has been dependent on financing to augment the operating cash flow to cover its cash requirements.

 

Based on the foregoing, Management believe it is correct to present these figures on a going concern basis.

 

Note 3.       Basis of presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). All amounts are in United States dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise stated.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed in the 20-F on March 21, 2024.

 

The Group’s interim period results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2023, contained in the Group’s Annual Report have been applied consistently in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 4.       Summary of significant accounting policies

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  

Adoption of new FASB Accounting Standard in the current year – Prior-Year Financial Statements not restated:

 

As of January 1, 2024, the Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-01 Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements which requires all companies to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the asset’s useful life to the common control group regardless of the lease term. ASU 2023-01 requires leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control to be amortized over the useful life of the improvements until the lessee ceases to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease, at which time the remaining value of the leasehold improvement would be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control.

 

There was no impact on the Group's results upon adoption of the standard.

 

F-7 

SEALSQ CorpCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2024

 

New FASB Accounting Standard to be adopted in the future:

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances current segment disclosures and requires additional disclosures of significant segment expenses.

 

Summary: The amendments improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements.

 

Effective Date: ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Group expects to adopt all the aforementioned guidance when effective. Management is assessing the impact of the aforementioned guidance on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements.

 

Summary: The intent of this standard is to enhance the decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard applies to all entities subject to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. In addition, entities will be required to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes. They will also disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. The standard also outlines additional disclosure requirements for all entities and specific updates for public business entities.

 

Effective Date: ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Group expects to adopt all the aforementioned guidance when effective. Management is assessing the impact of the aforementioned guidance on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact.

 

Note 5.       Concentration of credit risks

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Our cash is held with large financial institutions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our investments are financially sound and accordingly, are subject to minimal credit risk. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

 

The Group sells to large, international customers and, as a result, may maintain individually significant trade accounts receivable balances with such customers during the year. We generally do not require collateral on trade accounts receivable. Summarized below are the clients whose revenue were 10% or higher than the respective total consolidated net sales for the 6 months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023, and the clients whose trade accounts receivable balances were 10% or higher than the respective total consolidated trade accounts receivable balance as at June 30, 2024 and, or December 31, 2023. In addition, we note that some of our clients are contract manufacturers for the same companies; should these companies reduce their operations or change contract manufacturers, this would cause a decrease in our customer orders which would adversely affect our operating results.

Note 6.       Fair value measurements

 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for measuring financial instruments, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

·  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

·  Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

·  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

  As at June 30, 2024 (unaudited)   As at December 31, 2023   Fair value level  
USD'000 Carrying amount Fair value   Carrying amount Fair value   Note ref.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Indebtedness to related parties, noncurrent 7,478 7,478   9,695 9,695   3 19

 

 

In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair Value Measurements section above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:

-Accounts receivable – carrying amount approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.
-Accounts payable – carrying amount approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.
-Indebtedness to related parties, current – carrying amount approximated fair value.
-Bonds, mortgages and other long-term debt - carrying amount approximated fair value.
-Convertible note payable, noncurrent – fair value is calculated based on the present value of the future cash flows as of the reporting date.
-Indebtedness to related parties, noncurrent - carrying amount approximated fair value.

 

Note 7.       Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash consists of deposits held at major banks.

 

Note 8.       Accounts receivable

 

The breakdown of the accounts receivable balance is detailed below:

Note 10.        Government assistance

 

SEALSQ France SAS (formerly WISeKey Semiconductors SAS) is eligible for research tax credits provided by the French government.

Production Capacity Investment Loan Agreement

 

In November 2022, SEALSQ entered into a loan agreement with a third-party client to borrow funds for the purpose of increasing their production capacity.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the client has lent to SEALSQ a total of USD 2 million. The loan will be reimbursed by way of a volume rebate against future sales volumes of certain products from the SEALSQ Group to the client during the period from July 1, 2023, through to December 31, 2025.  The volume rebate is based upon quarterly sales volumes in excess of a base limit on a yearly projected basis. Any amount still outstanding as at December 31, 2025 shall fall due for repayment on that date.  The loan does not bear any interest and there were no fees or costs attributed to the loan.

 

At inception in November 2022, a debt discount totaling USD 511,128 was booked to additional paid-in capital. 

 

As at June 30, 2024, SEALSQ has not repaid any amount. The loan balance remains USD 2 million with an unamortized debt discount balance of USD 266,044, thus leaving a carrying value of USD 1,733,956.

 

The Group recorded a debt discount amortization expense of USD 80,160 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Share Purchase Agreement with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund

 

On July 11, 2023, the Group entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “L1 SPA”) with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund Ltd (“L1”) pursuant to which L1 may enter into a private placement of up to a maximum amount of USD 10 million, divided into two equal tranches, in the form of Senior Unsecured Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) a fixed conversion price of USD 30 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 92% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice of the Note, with a floor price of USD 2.50. The covenants include the requirement for the Group to maintain a minimum cash balance of USD 4 million and to ensure that indebtedness of the Group does not exceed 15% of the average market capitalization.

 

F-13 

SEALSQ CorpCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2024

 

Due to L1’s option to convert the loan in part or in full at any time before maturity, the L1 SPA was assessed as a share-settled debt instrument with an embedded put option. In line with ASC 480-10-55-43 and ASC 480-10-55-44, because the value that L1 will predominantly receive at settlement does not vary with the value of the shares, the settlement provision is not considered a conversion option. We assessed the put option under ASC 815 and concluded that it is clearly and closely related to its debt host and therefore did not require bifurcation. Per ASC 480-10-25, the L1 SPA was accounted for as a liability measured at fair value using the discounted cash flow method at inception.

 

Additionally, per the terms of the L1 SPA, upon each tranche closing under the L1 SPA, SEALSQ will grant L1 the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 30, which may reset at 120% of the closing VWAP on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date. Each warrant agreement has a 5-year exercise period starting on the relevant tranche closing date. In line with ASC 470-20-25-2, for each tranche closing, the proceeds from the convertible notes with a detachable warrant were allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrant and of the warrant at time of issuance. When assessed as an equity instrument, the warrant agreement is fair valued at grant using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares on the tranche closing date. The fair value of the debt is calculated using the discounted cash flow method.

 

The first tranche of USD 5 million was funded on July 12, 2023, by L1. SEALSQ issued to L1 (i) a Senior Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “First L1 Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 122,908 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “First L1 Warrant”). SEALSQ also created a capital reserve of 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance under the First L1 Note and the First L1 Warrant. Debt issue costs made up of legal expenses totaling USD 114,832 and a commission of USD 250,000 to the placement agent were due upon issuance of the First L1 Note, and a fee of USD 200,000 representing 4% of the principal value of the First L1 Note was paid to L1 at closing.

 

The First L1 Warrant was assessed as an equity instrument and was fair valued at grant at an amount of USD 632,976 using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the date of grant of USD 11.42. The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,987,363. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 563,112, with the credit entry recorded in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”), and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 323,744 and a debit to APIC of USD 41,088. Including the fee paid to L1, a total debt discount of USD 1,086,856 was recorded against the First L1 Note’s principal amount.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, L1 converted a total of USD 4 million of the First L1 Note, resulting in the delivery of a total of 3,940,630 Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ. A debt discount charge of USD 210,290 was amortized to the income statement and unamortized debt discounts totaling USD 705,572 were booked to APIC on conversions in line with ASC 470-02-40-4.

 

On January 9, 2024, SEALSQ and L1 entered into an Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “First L1 Amendment”), to amend some of the original terms and conditions of the L1 SPA. As per the First L1 Amendment, L1 may enter into a private placement of up to a maximum amount of USD 10 million, divided into two equal tranches, in the form of Senior Unsecured Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) a fixed conversion price of USD 4 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 92% of the lowest daily volume VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice of the Note, with a floor price of USD 0.55.

 

Additionally, per the terms of the L1 Amendment, upon each tranche closing under the L1 SPA, SEALSQ will grant L1 the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 4, with no option to reset. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date.

 

The second tranche of USD 5 million was funded on January 11, 2024, by L1. SEALSQ issued to L1 (i) a Senior Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “Second L1 Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 1,144,339 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “Second L1 Warrant”). SEALSQ also created a capital reserve of 45,000,000 Ordinary Shares from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance under the Second L1 Note and the Second L1 Warrant. Debt issue costs made up of legal expenses totaling USD 70,279 and a commission of USD 250,000 to the placement agent were due upon issuance of the Second L1 Note, and a fee of USD 200,000 representing 4% of the principal value of the Second L1 Note was paid to L1 at closing.

 

The Second L1 Warrant was assessed as an equity instrument and was fair valued at grant at an amount of USD 709,490 using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the date of grant of USD 1.60. The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,594,061. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 668,882, with the credit entry recorded in APIC, and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 277,433 and a debit to APIC of USD 42,846. Including the fee paid to L1, a total debt discount of USD 1,146,315 was recorded against the Second L1 Note’s principal amount.

 

On March 1 ,2024, SEALSQ and L1 entered into the Second Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Second L1 Amendment”), to amend some of the terms and conditions of the L1 SPA. As per the Second L1 Amendment, L1 may enter into a private placement of up to a maximum amount of USD 10 million, divided into two equal tranches, in the form of Senior Unsecured Original Issue 2.5% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) a fixed conversion price of USD 5.5 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 93% of the lowest daily volume VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice of the Note, with a floor price of USD 0.55.

Additionally, per the terms of the L1 Second Amendment, upon each tranche closing under the L1 SPA, SEALSQ will grant L1 the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 5.5, with no option to reset. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date.

 

The third tranche of USD 5 million was funded on March 1, 2024, by L1. SEALSQ issued to L1 (i) a Senior Original Issue 2.5% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “Third L1 Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 768,679 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “Third L1 Warrant”). Debt issue costs made up of legal expenses totaling USD 53,184 and a commission of USD 250,000 to the placement agent were due upon issuance of the Third L1 Note, and a fee of USD 125,000 representing 2.5% of the principal value of the Third L1 Note was paid to L1 at closing.

 

The Third L1 Warrant was assessed as an equity instrument and was fair valued at grant at an amount of USD 553,449 using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the date of grant of USD 1.98. The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,549,701. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 542,262, with the credit entry recorded in APIC, and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 270,303 and a debit to APIC of USD 32,881. Including the fee paid to L1, a total debt discount of USD 937,565 was recorded against the First L1 Note’s principal amount.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, L1 converted a total of USD 1 million of the First L1 Note and USD 3.9 million of the Second L1 Note, resulting in the delivery of a total of 3,317,720 Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ. A debt discount charge of USD 246,825 was amortized to the income statement and unamortized debt discounts totaling USD 1,009,178 were booked to APIC on conversion in line with ASC 470-02-40-4.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the unconverted balance was USD 1.1 million on the Second L1 Note and USD 5 million on the Third L1 note, and the unamortized debt discount balance was USD 998,871, hence a carrying value of USD 5,101,129.

 

Share Purchase Agreement with Anson Investments Master Fund

 

On July 11, 2023, the Group entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Anson SPA”) with Anson Investments Master Fund LP (“Anson”) pursuant to which Anson may enter into a private placement of up to a maximum amount of USD 10 million, divided into two equal tranches, in the form of Senior Unsecured Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) USD 30 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 92% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the notice of partial or full conversion of the Note, with a floor price of USD 2.50. The covenants include the requirement for the Group to maintain a minimum cash balance of USD 4 million and to ensure that indebtedness of the Group does not exceed 15% of the average market capitalization.

 

Due to Anson’s option to convert the loan in part or in full at any time before maturity, the Anson SPA was assessed as a share-settled debt instrument with an embedded put option. In line with ASC 480-10-55-43 and ASC 480-10-55-44, because the value that Anson will predominantly receive at settlement does not vary with the value of the shares, the settlement provision is not considered a conversion option. We assessed the put option under ASC 815 and concluded that it is clearly and closely related to its debt host and therefore did not require bifurcation. Per ASC 480-10-25, the Anson SPA was accounted for as a liability measured at fair value using the discounted cash flow method at inception.

 

Additionally, per the terms of the Anson SPA, upon each tranche closing under the Anson SPA, SEALSQ will grant Anson the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 30, which may reset at 120% of the closing VWAP on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date. Each warrant agreement has a 5-year exercise period starting on the relevant tranche closing date. In line with ASC 470-20-25-2, for each tranche closing, the proceeds from the convertible notes with a detachable warrant were allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrant and of the warrant at time of issuance. When assessed as an equity instrument, the warrant agreement is fair valued at grant using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares on the tranche closing date. The fair value of the debt is calculated using the discounted cash flow method.

 

The first tranche of USD 5 million was funded on July 12, 2023, by Anson. SEALSQ issued to Anson (i) a Senior Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “First Anson Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 122,908 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “First Anson Warrant”). SEALSQ also created a capital reserve of 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance under the First Anson Note and the First Anson Warrant. Debt issue costs made up of legal expenses totaling USD 64,832 and a commission of USD 250,000 to the placement agent were due upon issuance of the First Anson Note, and a fee of USD 200,000 representing 4% of the principal value of the First Anson Note was paid to Anson at closing.

 

The First Anson Warrant was assessed as an equity instrument and was fair valued at grant at an amount of USD 632,976 using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the date of grant of USD 11.42. The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,987,363. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 563,112, with the credit entry recorded in APIC, and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 279,375 and a debit to APIC of USD 35,457. Including the fee paid to Anson, a total debt discount of USD 1,042,487 was recorded against the First Anson Note’s principal amount.

Additionally, per the terms of the Anson Amendment, upon each tranche closing under the Anson SPA, SEALSQ will grant Anson the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 4, with no option to reset. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date.

 

The Second tranche of USD 5 million was funded on January 10, 2024, by Anson. SEALSQ issued to Anson (i) a Senior Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “Second Anson Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 1,144,339 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “Second Anson Warrant”). SEALSQ also created a capital reserve of 45,000,000 Ordinary Shares from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance under the Second Anson Note and the Second Anson Warrant. Debt issue costs made up of legal expenses totaling USD 55,279 and a commission of USD 250,000 to the placement agent were due upon issuance of the Second Anson Note, and a fee of USD 200,000 representing 4% of the principal value of the Second Anson Note was paid to Anson at closing.

 

The Second Anson Warrant was assessed as an equity instrument and was fair valued at grant at an amount of USD 709,490 using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the date of grant of USD 1.60. The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,594,171. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 668,868, with the credit entry recorded in APIC, and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 264,441 and a debit to APIC of USD 40,838. Including the fee paid to Anson, a total debt discount of USD 1,133,309 was recorded against the Second Anson Note’s principal amount.

 

On March 1, 2024, SEALSQ and Anson signed a second Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Second Anson Amendment”), to amend some of the terms and conditions of the Anson SPA. As per the Second Anson Amendment, Anson may enter into a private placement of up to a maximum amount of USD 10 million, divided into two equal tranches, in the form of Senior Unsecured Original Issue 2.5% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) a fixed conversion price of USD 5.5 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 93% of the lowest daily volume VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice of the Note, with a floor price of USD 0.55.

 

Additionally, per the terms of the Anson Second Amendment, upon each tranche closing under the Anson SPA, SEALSQ will grant Anson the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 5.5, with no option to reset. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date.

 

The Third tranche of USD 5 million was funded on March 1, 2024, by Anson. SEALSQ issued to Anson (i) a Senior Original Issue 2.5% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “Third Anson Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 768,679 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “Third Anson Warrant”). Debt issue costs made up of legal expenses totaling USD 38,184 and a commission of USD 250,000 to the placement agent were due upon issuance of the Third Anson Note, and a fee of USD 125,000 representing 2.5% of the principal value of the Third Anson Note was paid to Anson at closing.

 

The Third Anson Warrant was assessed as an equity instrument and was fair valued at grant at an amount of USD 553,449 using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the date of grant of USD 1.98. The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,549,701. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 542,262, with the credit entry recorded in APIC, and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 256,930 and a debit to APIC of USD 31,254. Including the fee paid to Anson, a total debt discount of USD 924,192 was recorded against the Third Anson Note’s principal amount.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Anson converted a total of USD 825,000 of the First Anson Note, and USD 5 million of the Second Anson Note, resulting in the delivery of a total of 3,970,104 Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ. A debt discount charge of USD 200,923 was amortized to the income statement and unamortized debt discounts totaling USD 1,204,299 were booked to APIC on conversion in line with ASC 470-02-40-4.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the unconverted balance on the Third Anson Note was USD 5 million and the unamortized debt discount balance was USD 787,720, hence a carrying value of USD 4,212,280.

 

Note 19.       Indebtedness to related parties

  

On October 1, 2016, the SEALSQ Group entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit”) with its parent WISeKey International Holding Ltd to borrow funds within a credit period starting on October 1, 2016, and ending on December 31, 2017, when all outstanding funds would become immediately due and payable. Outstanding loan amounts under the Revolving Credit bore an interest rate of 3% per annum. Repayments before the end of the credit period were permitted. On November 1, 2017, the Group and WISeKey entered into the First Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement extending the credit period by 2 years to December 31, 2019. On March 16, 2021, the Group and WISeKey entered into the Second Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement extending the credit period by another 2 years to December 31, 2022. On November 1, 2022, the Group and WISeKey entered into the Third Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement pursuant to which the interest rate was amended to 2.5% per annum.

 

On April 1, 2019, the SEALSQ Group entered into a loan agreement with WISeCoin AG, an affiliate of WISeKey, pursuant to which WISeCoin AG commits to loan EUR 250,000 to the SEALSQ Group, at an interest rate of 3% per annum, amended to 2.5% on November 3, 2022. The loan has no maturity date.

 

On October 1, 2019, the SEALSQ Group entered into a loan agreement with WISeCoin AG pursuant to which WISeCoin AG commits to loan USD 2,750,000 to the SEALSQ Group, at an interest rate of 3% per annum, amended to 2.5% on November 3, 2022. The loan has no maturity date.

 

On November 12, 2020, WISeKey provided a Funding Commitment to extend shareholder loans (each the “Shareholder Loan”) to the Group for a maximum aggregate amount of USD 4 million to be drawn down over six months from the date of the commitment, in instalments of between USD 1 million and USD 1.5 million. The Shareholder Loans bore interest of 3% per annum. There were no set repayment dates for the Shareholder Loans.

 

On April 1, 2021, the Group entered into a Debt Remission Agreement (the “Debt Remission”) with WISeKey pursuant to which an outstanding amount of EUR 5 million (USD 5,871,714 at historical rate) owed to WISeKey was remitted without any compensation from the Group. Per the terms of the Debt Remission, WISeKey will have the right to reinstate the debt and ask for repayment in fiscal years when SEALSQ France (formerly WISeKey Semiconductors SAS) achieves a positive income before income tax expense, in an amount calculated based on the income before income tax expense and as agreed by the parties. As such, because of the repayment clause, the loan amount covered by the Debt Remission continues to be shown as noncurrent liabilities included in the line Indebtedness to related parties, noncurrent. The outstanding amount under the Debt Remission is revalued at each period end at the applicable closing rate. On December 20, 2023, the Group and WISeKey entered into an agreement to write off EUR 2 million (USD 2,191,282 at historical rate) of the outstanding Debt Remission amount. Therefore, as at June 30, 2024, an amount of EUR 3 million (USD 3,211,668) remained outstanding under the Debt Remission.

 

On June 28, 2021, the Group entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement with its parent, WISeKey, and an affiliate of WISeKey, WISeKey SA, pursuant to which WISeKey extended a loan of USD 1,463,664 to the Group to repay an overdue creditor balance in that same amount owed to WISeKey SA. The loan bore interest at the rate of 3% per annum and was repayable by December 31, 2022.

 

On December 31, 2021, the Group entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement with WISeKey pursuant to which WISeKey extended a loan of USD 1,910,754 to the Group with an interest rate of 3% per annum, repayable on December 31, 2023.

 

On June 30, 2022, the Group entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement with WISeKey pursuant to which WISeKey extended a loan of USD 444,542 to the Group with an interest rate of 3% per annum, repayable on December 31, 2024.

 

On August 31, 2022, the Group entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement with WISeKey and WISeKey SA pursuant to which WISeKey extended a loan of USD 381,879 to the Group with an interest rate of 3% per annum, repayable on December 31, 2024.

 

On December 15, 2022, and in view of the negative equity position of the Group, WISeKey as then sole shareholder of the SEALSQ Group resolved to recapitalize the Group by forfeiting EUR 7 million (USD 7,348,397 at historical rate) out of the loans outstanding in exchange for the issuance of 175,000 new shares in SEALSQ France, par value EUR 1. Under French law, such a recapitalization is only possible if the loans to be forfeited are immediately repayable. Therefore, respectively on November 1, 2022 and November 3, 2022, the Group entered into a First Amendment to the Debt Transfer Agreements and into the Fourth Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement pursuant to which the loans owed under the Debt Transfer Agreements dated June 28, 2021, December 31, 2021, June 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022 as well as all amounts due under the Revolving Credit became due and payable on November 30, 2022.

 

Because of the requirement under French law, we analyzed the amendment of the maturity of the loans and Revolving Credit as being part of the substance of the recapitalization transaction. We assessed the recapitalization as a capital transaction between related parties in line with ASC 470-50 and, therefore, in the year ended December 31, 2022, recorded a credit entry of USD 183,710 in share capital corresponding to the new issue of 175,000 shares and a credit of USD 7,164,687 to additional paid-in capital, with a total debit entry of USD 7,348,397 to Indebtedness to related parties, noncurrent.

SEALSQ CorpCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2024

 

On December 31, 2022, the Group entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement with WISeKey pursuant to which WISeKey extended a loan of USD 283,754 to the Group with an interest rate of 3% per annum, repayable on December 31, 2024.

 

As at December 31, 2022, the Group owed WISeKey USD 1,198,746 in loans under the various agreements and the unamortized debt discount balance was USD 35,340, hence a carrying value of USD 1,163,406 as at December 31, 2022.

 

On January 1, 2023, the SEALSQ Group entered into a loan agreement with WISeKey (the “New Loan”) which replaced all outstanding loan agreements. Per the terms of the New Loan, WISeKey extended a loan to the SEALSQ Group of up to USD 5 million, with an interest rate of 2.5% per annum, repayable on or around December 31, 2024. A first tranche loan of USD 1,407,497 was drawn on January 1, 2023, which was made up of the balance of USD 1,198,746 outstanding from previous loan agreements as at December 31, 2022 and an additional loan amount of USD 208,751. We determined the New Loan to be a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, where the future undiscounted cash flows of the New Loan were more than the net carrying value of USD 1,163,406 of the original debt with WISeKey. Therefore, in line with ASC 470-60, we recorded the New Loan with a new effective interest rate of 12.3% established based on the carrying value of the original debt and the revised cash flows. A total interest rate accrual of USD 244,091 was recorded as a debit to Indebtedness to related parties, current at inception and the unamortized debt discount balance on the previously outstanding loans of USD 35,340 was extinguished, hence a net credit to APIC of USD 208,751. In line with ASC 470-60, no gain was recorded in the income statement.

 

All entities in the SEALSQ Group are subject to management fees from WISeKey and WISeKey’s affiliates. Where the payment terms have been defined, the classification between current and noncurrent follows the payment terms, however, where there is no set payment date for these fees, they have been classified as noncurrent.

 

As at December 31, 2023, the Group owed WISeKey and WISeKey’s affiliates noncurrent debts in an aggregate amount of USD 9,695,576, made up of loans and unpaid management fees, and a current debt in an amount of USD 1,407,497. The unamortized effective interest balance of the current debt was USD 129,691, hence a carrying value of the current debt of USD 1,277,806 as at December 31, 2023. In the year 2023, an aggregate effective interest expense of USD 114,400 was recorded in the income statement.

 

As at December 31, 2023, the Group also held an accounts payable balance of USD 1,377,871 with WISeKey in relation to interest on outstanding loans and the recharge of management services, classified as accounts payable to shareholders.

 

In 2024, the group repaid the current debt owed to WISeKey in full for a total amount of USD 1,449,911, made up of a loan of USD 1,407,497, and related interests. The unamortized effective interest balance of the current debt of USD 129,691 was recognized in the income statement as interest and amortization of debt discount in an amount of USD 29,406 and as loss on debt extinguishment in an amount of USD 100,285.

 

The group also repaid some of the noncurrent debts owed to WISeKey.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Group owed WISeKey and WISeKey’s affiliates noncurrent debts in an aggregate amount of USD 7,477,594, made up of loans and unpaid management fees. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate effective interest expense of USD 44,943 was recorded in the income statement.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Group also held an accounts payable balance of USD 1,981,933 with WISeKey in relation to interest on outstanding loans and the recharge of management services, classified as accounts payable to shareholders.

 

Note 20.       Employee benefit plans

 

Defined benefit post-retirement plan

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Group maintained one defined benefit post retirement plan for the employees of SEALSQ France SAS (formerly WISeKey Semiconductors SAS).

 

The plan is and was considered a defined benefit plan and accounted for in accordance with ASC 715 Compensation – Retirement Benefits. This model allocates pension costs over the service period of employees in the plan. The underlying principle is that employees render services ratably over this period, and therefore, the income statement effects of pensions should follow a similar pattern. ASC 715 requires recognition of the funded status or difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations of the pension plan on the balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment recorded in the net loss. If the projected benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of the plan assets, then that difference or unfunded status represents the pension liability.

 

The Group records net service cost as an operating expense and other components of defined benefit plans as a non-operating expense in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

The liabilities and annual income or expense of the pension plan are determined using methodologies that involve several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the long-term rate of asset return (based on the market-related value of assets). The fair value of plan assets is determined based on prevailing market prices.

 

The defined benefit pension plan maintained by SEALSQ France SAS, and its obligations to employees in terms of retirement benefits, is limited to a lump sum payment based on remuneration and length of service, determined for each employee. The plan is not funded, which means that there are no plan assets.

 

The pension liability calculated as at June 30, 2024 is based on annual personnel costs and assumptions as of December 31, 2023.

Guarantees

 

Our software and hardware product sales agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. Certain of our product sales agreements also include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities in the event we breach confidentiality or service level requirements. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to our lack of history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. To date, we have not incurred any costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 23.       Revenue

 

Nature of goods and services

 

The Group generates revenues from the sale of semiconductors secure chips and from Digital Certificates, Software as a Service, Software license and Post-Contract Customer Support (PCS) for cybersecurity applications. Products and services are sold principally separately but may also be sold in bundled packages.

 

For bundled packages, the Group accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct – i.e. if a product or service is separately identified from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it. The consideration is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the list prices when available or estimated based on the Adjusted Market Assessment approach (e.g. licenses), or the Expected Cost-Plus Margin approach (e.g., PCS).

 

The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Group generates its revenue across all reportable segments.

 

Product and services Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms
Semiconductors secure chips

Although they may be sold in connection with other services of the Group, they always represent distinct performance obligations.

The Group recognizes revenue when a customer takes possession of the chips, which usually occurs when the goods are delivered. Customers typically pay once goods are delivered.

SaaS

The Group’s SaaS arrangements cover the provision of cloud-based certificates for authentication purposes such as Device Attestation Certificates (DACs) for MATTER Protocol, IoT Device to Cloud Authentication, or Device-to-Device Authentication. The Group recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the service period which is usually yearly renewable.

Where lifelong certificates are issued, the Group recognizes revenue when the certificate is delivered and usable by the customer.

Customers usually pay ahead of the service period; the paid amounts which have not yet been recognized as revenue are shown as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

Software and INeS Certificate Management Platform

The Group provides software for certificates life-cycle management and signing and authentication solutions through its INeS Certificate Management Platform. The Group recognizes revenue when the software has been delivered or the platform has been set up, and PCS revenue over the service period which is usually one-year renewable.

Customers pay upon delivery of the software or over the PCS.

Implementation, integration and other services The Group provides services to implement and integrate multi-element cybersecurity solutions. Most of the time the solution elements are off-the-shelve non-customized components which represent distinct performance obligations. Implementation and integration services are payable when rendered, while other revenue elements are payable and recognized as per their specific description in this section.

 

Disaggregation of revenue

 

The following table shows the Group’s revenues disaggregated by product or service type:

Note 27.       Income taxes

 

The Group assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and, to the extent recoverability does not satisfy the “more likely than not” recognition criterion under ASC 740, records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Group considered its recent operating results and anticipated future taxable income in assessing the need for its valuation allowance.

 

F-24 

SEALSQ CorpCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2024

 

In the years up until and including 2021, the Group recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of its deferred tax assets. However, in view of the Group’s income before income tax in the year ended December 31, 2022, and of the anticipated future taxable income per management’s forecast, the Group assessed that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets partially satisfied the “more likely than not” recognition criterion under ASC 740 as at December 31, 2022 and, therefore, partially reversed the valuation allowance previously recorded.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Group assessed that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets still partially satisfied the “more likely than not” recognition criteria under ASC 740, but that it would spread over more years than initially calculated. The Group considered its recent operating results and anticipated future taxable income in assessing the need for its valuation allowance and assessed that the valuation allowance should be increased to reflect the expected delay in the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, as reflected in the tables below.

 

The Group’s deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

Note 28.       Segment reporting

Note 30.       Legal proceedings

 

We are currently not party to any legal proceedings and claims that are not provided for in our financial statements.

 

Starting in 2023 until April 2024, the French customs authorities carried out an audit of our exportation documents and found some administrative errors. In June 2024, we submitted observations to the French customs authorities contesting the legal qualification of the infringement notified. As at June 30, 2024, the French customs authorities have not yet disclosed their conclusion or a course of action in relation to their findings. We note that the administrative errors identified in our exportation documents had no financial impact on our current or historical financial statements and did not result in any error or misstatement in our historical financial statements. However, management believes that there is a reasonable possibility that a penalty may be incurred in relation to this matter, but a reasonable estimate of such loss cannot be made as at June 30, 2024.

Note 33.       Impacts of ongoing conflicts

  

Impacts of the war in Ukraine

 

Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in late February 2022, several countries imposed sanctions on Russia, Belarus and certain regions in Ukraine. There has been an abrupt change in the geopolitical situation, with significant uncertainty about the duration of the conflict, changing scope of sanctions and retaliation actions including new laws.

 

The SEALSQ Group does not have any operation or customer in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, and, as such, does not foresee any direct impact of the war on its operations. However, the war has also contributed to an increase in volatility in currency markets, energy prices, raw material and other input costs, which may impact the Group’s supply chain in the future.

 

As at June 30, 2024, SEALSQ has assessed the consequences of the war for its financial disclosures and considered the impacts on key judgments and significant estimates, and has concluded that no changes were required. SEALSQ will continue to monitor these areas of increased risk for material changes.

 

Impacts of the Israel–Hamas conflict

 

Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas in October 2023 has degraded the geopolitical environment in the region and created uncertainty.

 

The SEALSQ Group does not have any operation or customer in that region, and, as such, does not foresee any direct impact of the war on its operations. However, depending on its duration and intensity, the war may adversely affect the global economy, financial markets and the Group’s supply chain in the future.

 

As at June 30, 2024, SEALSQ has assessed the consequences of the war for its financial disclosures and considered the impacts on key judgments and significant estimates, and has concluded that no changes were required. SEALSQ will continue to monitor these areas of increased risk for material changes.

The SEALSQ Group

Note 1.       The SEALSQ Group

 

SEALSQ Corp, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“SEALSQ” or the “Group” or the “SEALSQ Group”), has its headquarters in Tortola, BVI. SEALSQ Corp, the parent of the SEALSQ Group, was incorporated in April 2022 and is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market exchange with the valor symbol “LAES” since May 23, 2023.

 

On January 1, 2023, SEALSQ Corp acquired SEALSQ France (formerly WISeKey Semiconductors SAS), a private joint stock company (French Simplified Joint Stock Company), and its subsidiaries. Prior to that acquisition, SEALSQ did not have any operations. As further described in the notes below, the acquisition qualified as a reverse recapitalization.

 

SEALSQ designs, develops and markets secure semiconductors worldwide as a fabless manufacturer. It provides added security and authentication layers on its semiconductors which can be tailored to customers’ needs. As an advanced chip designer, the Group holds the intellectual property (IP) for the semiconductors it sells.

 

SEALSQ is also accredited as a Product Attestation Authority (PAA) and, as such, can issue MATTER Device Attestation Certificates (DAC).

 

The Group anticipates being able to generate profits in the near future thanks to the increased focus on the security and authentication of IT components and networks.

Future operations and going concern

Note 2.       Future operations and going concern

 

The Group recorded a loss from operations in this reporting period and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern.

 

The Group incurred a net operating loss of USD 8.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and had positive working capital of USD 18.8 million as at June 30, 2024, calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Based on the Group’s cash projections up to September 30, 2025, SEALSQ has sufficient liquidity to fund operations.

 

We note that, historically, the Group has been dependent on financing to augment the operating cash flow to cover its cash requirements.

 

Based on the foregoing, Management believe it is correct to present these figures on a going concern basis.

Note 3.       Basis of presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). All amounts are in United States dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise stated.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed in the 20-F on March 21, 2024.

 

The Group’s interim period results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2023, contained in the Group’s Annual Report have been applied consistently in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  

Adoption of new FASB Accounting Standard in the current year – Prior-Year Financial Statements not restated:

 

As of January 1, 2024, the Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-01 Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements which requires all companies to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the asset’s useful life to the common control group regardless of the lease term. ASU 2023-01 requires leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control to be amortized over the useful life of the improvements until the lessee ceases to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease, at which time the remaining value of the leasehold improvement would be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control.

 

There was no impact on the Group's results upon adoption of the standard.

 

 

New FASB Accounting Standard to be adopted in the future:

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances current segment disclosures and requires additional disclosures of significant segment expenses.

 

Summary: The amendments improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements.

 

Effective Date: ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Group expects to adopt all the aforementioned guidance when effective. Management is assessing the impact of the aforementioned guidance on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements.

 

Summary: The intent of this standard is to enhance the decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard applies to all entities subject to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. In addition, entities will be required to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes. They will also disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. The standard also outlines additional disclosure requirements for all entities and specific updates for public business entities.

 

Effective Date: ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Group expects to adopt all the aforementioned guidance when effective. Management is assessing the impact of the aforementioned guidance on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]  
Concentration of credit risks

Note 5.       Concentration of credit risks

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Our cash is held with large financial institutions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our investments are financially sound and accordingly, are subject to minimal credit risk. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

 

The Group sells to large, international customers and, as a result, may maintain individually significant trade accounts receivable balances with such customers during the year. We generally do not require collateral on trade accounts receivable. Summarized below are the clients whose revenue were 10% or higher than the respective total consolidated net sales for the 6 months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023, and the clients whose trade accounts receivable balances were 10% or higher than the respective total consolidated trade accounts receivable balance as at June 30, 2024 and, or December 31, 2023. In addition, we note that some of our clients are contract manufacturers for the same companies; should these companies reduce their operations or change contract manufacturers, this would cause a decrease in our customer orders which would adversely affect our operating results.

Fair value measurements

Note 6.       Fair value measurements

 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for measuring financial instruments, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

·  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

·  Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

·  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair Value Measurements section above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:

-Accounts receivable – carrying amount approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.
-Accounts payable – carrying amount approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.
-Indebtedness to related parties, current – carrying amount approximated fair value.
-Bonds, mortgages and other long-term debt - carrying amount approximated fair value.
-Convertible note payable, noncurrent – fair value is calculated based on the present value of the future cash flows as of the reporting date.
-Indebtedness to related parties, noncurrent - carrying amount approximated fair value.

Production Capacity Investment Loan Agreement

 

In November 2022, SEALSQ entered into a loan agreement with a third-party client to borrow funds for the purpose of increasing their production capacity.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the client has lent to SEALSQ a total of USD 2 million. The loan will be reimbursed by way of a volume rebate against future sales volumes of certain products from the SEALSQ Group to the client during the period from July 1, 2023, through to December 31, 2025.  The volume rebate is based upon quarterly sales volumes in excess of a base limit on a yearly projected basis. Any amount still outstanding as at December 31, 2025 shall fall due for repayment on that date.  The loan does not bear any interest and there were no fees or costs attributed to the loan.

 

At inception in November 2022, a debt discount totaling USD 511,128 was booked to additional paid-in capital. 

 

As at June 30, 2024, SEALSQ has not repaid any amount. The loan balance remains USD 2 million with an unamortized debt discount balance of USD 266,044, thus leaving a carrying value of USD 1,733,956.

 

The Group recorded a debt discount amortization expense of USD 80,160 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Share Purchase Agreement with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund

 

On July 11, 2023, the Group entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “L1 SPA”) with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund Ltd (“L1”) pursuant to which L1 may enter into a private placement of up to a maximum amount of USD 10 million, divided into two equal tranches, in the form of Senior Unsecured Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) a fixed conversion price of USD 30 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 92% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice of the Note, with a floor price of USD 2.50. The covenants include the requirement for the Group to maintain a minimum cash balance of USD 4 million and to ensure that indebtedness of the Group does not exceed 15% of the average market capitalization.

 

 

Due to L1’s option to convert the loan in part or in full at any time before maturity, the L1 SPA was assessed as a share-settled debt instrument with an embedded put option. In line with ASC 480-10-55-43 and ASC 480-10-55-44, because the value that L1 will predominantly receive at settlement does not vary with the value of the shares, the settlement provision is not considered a conversion option. We assessed the put option under ASC 815 and concluded that it is clearly and closely related to its debt host and therefore did not require bifurcation. Per ASC 480-10-25, the L1 SPA was accounted for as a liability measured at fair value using the discounted cash flow method at inception.

 

Additionally, per the terms of the L1 SPA, upon each tranche closing under the L1 SPA, SEALSQ will grant L1 the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 30, which may reset at 120% of the closing VWAP on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date. Each warrant agreement has a 5-year exercise period starting on the relevant tranche closing date. In line with ASC 470-20-25-2, for each tranche closing, the proceeds from the convertible notes with a detachable warrant were allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrant and of the warrant at time of issuance. When assessed as an equity instrument, the warrant agreement is fair valued at grant using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares on the tranche closing date. The fair value of the debt is calculated using the discounted cash flow method.

 

The first tranche of USD 5 million was funded on July 12, 2023, by L1. SEALSQ issued to L1 (i) a Senior Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “First L1 Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 122,908 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “First L1 Warrant”). SEALSQ also created a capital reserve of 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance under the First L1 Note and the First L1 Warrant. Debt issue costs made up of legal expenses totaling USD 114,832 and a commission of USD 250,000 to the placement agent were due upon issuance of the First L1 Note, and a fee of USD 200,000 representing 4% of the principal value of the First L1 Note was paid to L1 at closing.

 

The First L1 Warrant was assessed as an equity instrument and was fair valued at grant at an amount of USD 632,976 using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the date of grant of USD 11.42. The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,987,363. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 563,112, with the credit entry recorded in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”), and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 323,744 and a debit to APIC of USD 41,088. Including the fee paid to L1, a total debt discount of USD 1,086,856 was recorded against the First L1 Note’s principal amount.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, L1 converted a total of USD 4 million of the First L1 Note, resulting in the delivery of a total of 3,940,630 Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ. A debt discount charge of USD 210,290 was amortized to the income statement and unamortized debt discounts totaling USD 705,572 were booked to APIC on conversions in line with ASC 470-02-40-4.

 

On January 9, 2024, SEALSQ and L1 entered into an Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “First L1 Amendment”), to amend some of the original terms and conditions of the L1 SPA. As per the First L1 Amendment, L1 may enter into a private placement of up to a maximum amount of USD 10 million, divided into two equal tranches, in the form of Senior Unsecured Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) a fixed conversion price of USD 4 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 92% of the lowest daily volume VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice of the Note, with a floor price of USD 0.55.

 

Additionally, per the terms of the L1 Amendment, upon each tranche closing under the L1 SPA, SEALSQ will grant L1 the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 4, with no option to reset. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date.

 

The second tranche of USD 5 million was funded on January 11, 2024, by L1. SEALSQ issued to L1 (i) a Senior Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “Second L1 Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 1,144,339 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “Second L1 Warrant”). SEALSQ also created a capital reserve of 45,000,000 Ordinary Shares from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance under the Second L1 Note and the Second L1 Warrant. Debt issue costs made up of legal expenses totaling USD 70,279 and a commission of USD 250,000 to the placement agent were due upon issuance of the Second L1 Note, and a fee of USD 200,000 representing 4% of the principal value of the Second L1 Note was paid to L1 at closing.

The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,594,061. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 668,882, with the credit entry recorded in APIC, and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 277,433 and a debit to APIC of USD 42,846.

The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) a fixed conversion price of USD 5.5 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 93% of the lowest daily volume VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice of the Note, with a floor price of USD 0.55.

 

 

Additionally, per the terms of the L1 Second Amendment, upon each tranche closing under the L1 SPA, SEALSQ will grant L1 the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 5.5, with no option to reset. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date.

 

The third tranche of USD 5 million was funded on March 1, 2024, by L1. SEALSQ issued to L1 (i) a Senior Original Issue 2.5% Discount Convertible Promissory Note of USD 5 million (the “Third L1 Note”), convertible into SEALSQ’s Ordinary Shares, and (ii) 768,679 warrants on the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ with a 5-year maturity (the “Third L1 Warrant”).

The fair value of the debt was calculated using the discounted cash flow method as USD 4,549,701. Applying the relative fair value method per ASC 470-20-25-2, the recognition of the warrant agreement created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 542,262, with the credit entry recorded in APIC, and the debt issue costs created a debt discount on the debt host in the amount of USD 270,303 and a debit to APIC of USD 32,881.

Share Purchase Agreement with Anson Investments Master Fund

 

On July 11, 2023, the Group entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Anson SPA”) with Anson Investments Master Fund LP (“Anson”) pursuant to which Anson may enter into a private placement of up to a maximum amount of USD 10 million, divided into two equal tranches, in the form of Senior Unsecured Original Issue 4% Discount Convertible Promissory Notes. The Notes shall have a 24-month maturity and bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, subject to adjustment. The Notes will be convertible into Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ, partially or in full, at an initial conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) USD 30 per Ordinary Share, which, on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date, may reset at 130% of the daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately prior to the reset date and (ii) 92% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Ordinary Shares during the ten trading days immediately preceding the notice of partial or full conversion of the Note, with a floor price of USD 2.50. The covenants include the requirement for the Group to maintain a minimum cash balance of USD 4 million and to ensure that indebtedness of the Group does not exceed 15% of the average market capitalization.

 

Due to Anson’s option to convert the loan in part or in full at any time before maturity, the Anson SPA was assessed as a share-settled debt instrument with an embedded put option. In line with ASC 480-10-55-43 and ASC 480-10-55-44, because the value that Anson will predominantly receive at settlement does not vary with the value of the shares, the settlement provision is not considered a conversion option. We assessed the put option under ASC 815 and concluded that it is clearly and closely related to its debt host and therefore did not require bifurcation. Per ASC 480-10-25, the Anson SPA was accounted for as a liability measured at fair value using the discounted cash flow method at inception.

 

Additionally, per the terms of the Anson SPA, upon each tranche closing under the Anson SPA, SEALSQ will grant Anson the option to acquire Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ at an initial exercise price of USD 30, which may reset at 120% of the closing VWAP on the six-month anniversary of the tranche closing date. The number of warrants granted at each tranche subscription is calculated as 30% of the principal amount of each tranche divided by the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares of SEALSQ on the trading day immediately preceding the tranche closing date. Each warrant agreement has a 5-year exercise period starting on the relevant tranche closing date. In line with ASC 470-20-25-2, for each tranche closing, the proceeds from the convertible notes with a detachable warrant were allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrant and of the warrant at time of issuance. When assessed as an equity instrument, the warrant agreement is fair valued at grant using the Black-Scholes model and the market price of the Ordinary Shares on the tranche closing date. The fair value of the debt is calculated using the discounted cash flow method.

Therefore, respectively on November 1, 2022 and November 3, 2022, the Group entered into a First Amendment to the Debt Transfer Agreements and into the Fourth Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement pursuant to which the loans owed under the Debt Transfer Agreements dated June 28, 2021, December 31, 2021, June 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022 as well as all amounts due under the Revolving Credit became due and payable on November 30, 2022.

 

Because of the requirement under French law, we analyzed the amendment of the maturity of the loans and Revolving Credit as being part of the substance of the recapitalization transaction. We assessed the recapitalization as a capital transaction between related parties in line with ASC 470-50 and, therefore, in the year ended December 31, 2022, recorded a credit entry of USD 183,710 in share capital corresponding to the new issue of 175,000 shares and a credit of USD 7,164,687 to additional paid-in capital, with a total debit entry of USD 7,348,397 to Indebtedness to related parties, noncurrent.

 

On December 31, 2022, the Group entered into a Debt Transfer Agreement with WISeKey pursuant to which WISeKey extended a loan of USD 283,754 to the Group with an interest rate of 3% per annum, repayable on December 31, 2024.

 

As at December 31, 2022, the Group owed WISeKey USD 1,198,746 in loans under the various agreements and the unamortized debt discount balance was USD 35,340, hence a carrying value of USD 1,163,406 as at December 31, 2022.

 

On January 1, 2023, the SEALSQ Group entered into a loan agreement with WISeKey (the “New Loan”) which replaced all outstanding loan agreements. Per the terms of the New Loan, WISeKey extended a loan to the SEALSQ Group of up to USD 5 million, with an interest rate of 2.5% per annum, repayable on or around December 31, 2024. A first tranche loan of USD 1,407,497 was drawn on January 1, 2023, which was made up of the balance of USD 1,198,746 outstanding from previous loan agreements as at December 31, 2022 and an additional loan amount of USD 208,751. We determined the New Loan to be a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60, where the future undiscounted cash flows of the New Loan were more than the net carrying value of USD 1,163,406 of the original debt with WISeKey. Therefore, in line with ASC 470-60, we recorded the New Loan with a new effective interest rate of 12.3% established based on the carrying value of the original debt and the revised cash flows. A total interest rate accrual of USD 244,091 was recorded as a debit to Indebtedness to related parties, current at inception and the unamortized debt discount balance on the previously outstanding loans of USD 35,340 was extinguished, hence a net credit to APIC of USD 208,751. In line with ASC 470-60, no gain was recorded in the income statement.

 

All entities in the SEALSQ Group are subject to management fees from WISeKey and WISeKey’s affiliates. Where the payment terms have been defined, the classification between current and noncurrent follows the payment terms, however, where there is no set payment date for these fees, they have been classified as noncurrent.

 

As at December 31, 2023, the Group owed WISeKey and WISeKey’s affiliates noncurrent debts in an aggregate amount of USD 9,695,576, made up of loans and unpaid management fees, and a current debt in an amount of USD 1,407,497. The unamortized effective interest balance of the current debt was USD 129,691, hence a carrying value of the current debt of USD 1,277,806 as at December 31, 2023. In the year 2023, an aggregate effective interest expense of USD 114,400 was recorded in the income statement.

 

As at December 31, 2023, the Group also held an accounts payable balance of USD 1,377,871 with WISeKey in relation to interest on outstanding loans and the recharge of management services, classified as accounts payable to shareholders.

 

In 2024, the group repaid the current debt owed to WISeKey in full for a total amount of USD 1,449,911, made up of a loan of USD 1,407,497, and related interests. The unamortized effective interest balance of the current debt of USD 129,691 was recognized in the income statement as interest and amortization of debt discount in an amount of USD 29,406 and as loss on debt extinguishment in an amount of USD 100,285.

 

The group also repaid some of the noncurrent debts owed to WISeKey.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Group owed WISeKey and WISeKey’s affiliates noncurrent debts in an aggregate amount of USD 7,477,594, made up of loans and unpaid management fees. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate effective interest expense of USD 44,943 was recorded in the income statement.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Group also held an accounts payable balance of USD 1,981,933 with WISeKey in relation to interest on outstanding loans and the recharge of management services, classified as accounts payable to shareholders.

Note 20.       Employee benefit plans

 

Defined benefit post-retirement plan

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Group maintained one defined benefit post retirement plan for the employees of SEALSQ France SAS (formerly WISeKey Semiconductors SAS).

 

The plan is and was considered a defined benefit plan and accounted for in accordance with ASC 715 Compensation – Retirement Benefits. This model allocates pension costs over the service period of employees in the plan. The underlying principle is that employees render services ratably over this period, and therefore, the income statement effects of pensions should follow a similar pattern. ASC 715 requires recognition of the funded status or difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations of the pension plan on the balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment recorded in the net loss. If the projected benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of the plan assets, then that difference or unfunded status represents the pension liability.

 

The Group records net service cost as an operating expense and other components of defined benefit plans as a non-operating expense in the statement of comprehensive loss.

 

The liabilities and annual income or expense of the pension plan are determined using methodologies that involve several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the long-term rate of asset return (based on the market-related value of assets). The fair value of plan assets is determined based on prevailing market prices.

 

The defined benefit pension plan maintained by SEALSQ France SAS, and its obligations to employees in terms of retirement benefits, is limited to a lump sum payment based on remuneration and length of service, determined for each employee. The plan is not funded, which means that there are no plan assets.

 

The pension liability calculated as at June 30, 2024 is based on annual personnel costs and assumptions as of December 31, 2023.

  

 

The expected future cash flows to be paid by the Group for employer contribution for the year ended December 31, 2024, are USD 38,000.

Guarantees

 

Our software and hardware product sales agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. Certain of our product sales agreements also include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities in the event we breach confidentiality or service level requirements. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to our lack of history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. To date, we have not incurred any costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 23.       Revenue

 

Nature of goods and services

 

The Group generates revenues from the sale of semiconductors secure chips and from Digital Certificates, Software as a Service, Software license and Post-Contract Customer Support (PCS) for cybersecurity applications. Products and services are sold principally separately but may also be sold in bundled packages.

 

For bundled packages, the Group accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct – i.e. if a product or service is separately identified from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it. The consideration is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the list prices when available or estimated based on the Adjusted Market Assessment approach (e.g. licenses), or the Expected Cost-Plus Margin approach (e.g., PCS).

 

The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Group generates its revenue across all reportable segments.

 

Product and services Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms
Semiconductors secure chips

Although they may be sold in connection with other services of the Group, they always represent distinct performance obligations.

The Group recognizes revenue when a customer takes possession of the chips, which usually occurs when the goods are delivered. Customers typically pay once goods are delivered.

SaaS

The Group’s SaaS arrangements cover the provision of cloud-based certificates for authentication purposes such as Device Attestation Certificates (DACs) for MATTER Protocol, IoT Device to Cloud Authentication, or Device-to-Device Authentication. The Group recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the service period which is usually yearly renewable.

Where lifelong certificates are issued, the Group recognizes revenue when the certificate is delivered and usable by the customer.

Customers usually pay ahead of the service period; the paid amounts which have not yet been recognized as revenue are shown as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

Software and INeS Certificate Management Platform

The Group provides software for certificates life-cycle management and signing and authentication solutions through its INeS Certificate Management Platform. The Group recognizes revenue when the software has been delivered or the platform has been set up, and PCS revenue over the service period which is usually one-year renewable.

Customers pay upon delivery of the software or over the PCS.

Implementation, integration and other services The Group provides services to implement and integrate multi-element cybersecurity solutions. Most of the time the solution elements are off-the-shelve non-customized components which represent distinct performance obligations. Implementation and integration services are payable when rendered, while other revenue elements are payable and recognized as per their specific description in this section.

There was no grant of options on F Shares under the FSOP in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Stock option charge to the income statement

 

The Group calculates the fair value of options granted by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the other companies (in the same industry and of a similar size) share price volatility.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, a total charge of USD 42,095 for options granted to Board members was recognized in the consolidated income statement calculated by applying the Black-Scholes model at grant, in relation to options.

 

The following assumptions were used to calculate the compensation expense and the calculated fair value of stock options granted:

 

Assumption June 30, 2024   June 30, 2023
Dividend yield None   None
Risk-free interest rate used (average) 1.00%   1.00%
Expected market price volatility 65.31%   73.19%
Average remaining expected life of stock options on F Shares (years) 5.69   6.69
Average remaining expected life of stock options on Ordinary Shares (years) 6.91   n/a

  

Unvested options to employees as at June 30, 2024 were recognized prorata temporis over the service period (grant date to vesting date).

Note 27.       Income taxes

 

The Group assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and, to the extent recoverability does not satisfy the “more likely than not” recognition criterion under ASC 740, records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Group considered its recent operating results and anticipated future taxable income in assessing the need for its valuation allowance.

 

 

In the years up until and including 2021, the Group recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of its deferred tax assets. However, in view of the Group’s income before income tax in the year ended December 31, 2022, and of the anticipated future taxable income per management’s forecast, the Group assessed that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets partially satisfied the “more likely than not” recognition criterion under ASC 740 as at December 31, 2022 and, therefore, partially reversed the valuation allowance previously recorded.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Group assessed that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets still partially satisfied the “more likely than not” recognition criteria under ASC 740, but that it would spread over more years than initially calculated. The Group considered its recent operating results and anticipated future taxable income in assessing the need for its valuation allowance and assessed that the valuation allowance should be increased to reflect the expected delay in the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, as reflected in the tables below.

 

The Group’s deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

Note 30.       Legal proceedings

 

We are currently not party to any legal proceedings and claims that are not provided for in our financial statements.

 

Starting in 2023 until April 2024, the French customs authorities carried out an audit of our exportation documents and found some administrative errors. In June 2024, we submitted observations to the French customs authorities contesting the legal qualification of the infringement notified. As at June 30, 2024, the French customs authorities have not yet disclosed their conclusion or a course of action in relation to their findings. We note that the administrative errors identified in our exportation documents had no financial impact on our current or historical financial statements and did not result in any error or misstatement in our historical financial statements. However, management believes that there is a reasonable possibility that a penalty may be incurred in relation to this matter, but a reasonable estimate of such loss cannot be made as at June 30, 2024.

Note 33.       Impacts of ongoing conflicts

  

Impacts of the war in Ukraine

 

Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in late February 2022, several countries imposed sanctions on Russia, Belarus and certain regions in Ukraine. There has been an abrupt change in the geopolitical situation, with significant uncertainty about the duration of the conflict, changing scope of sanctions and retaliation actions including new laws.

 

The SEALSQ Group does not have any operation or customer in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, and, as such, does not foresee any direct impact of the war on its operations. However, the war has also contributed to an increase in volatility in currency markets, energy prices, raw material and other input costs, which may impact the Group’s supply chain in the future.

 

As at June 30, 2024, SEALSQ has assessed the consequences of the war for its financial disclosures and considered the impacts on key judgments and significant estimates, and has concluded that no changes were required. SEALSQ will continue to monitor these areas of increased risk for material changes.

 

Impacts of the Israel–Hamas conflict

 

Israel’s declaration of war on Hamas in October 2023 has degraded the geopolitical environment in the region and created uncertainty.

 

The SEALSQ Group does not have any operation or customer in that region, and, as such, does not foresee any direct impact of the war on its operations. However, depending on its duration and intensity, the war may adversely affect the global economy, financial markets and the Group’s supply chain in the future.

 

As at June 30, 2024, SEALSQ has assessed the consequences of the war for its financial disclosures and considered the impacts on key judgments and significant estimates, and has concluded that no changes were required. SEALSQ will continue to monitor these areas of increased risk for material changes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  

Adoption of new FASB Accounting Standard in the current year – Prior-Year Financial Statements not restated:

 

As of January 1, 2024, the Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-01 Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements which requires all companies to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control leases over the asset’s useful life to the common control group regardless of the lease term. ASU 2023-01 requires leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control to be amortized over the useful life of the improvements until the lessee ceases to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease, at which time the remaining value of the leasehold improvement would be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control.

 

There was no impact on the Group's results upon adoption of the standard.

 

 

New FASB Accounting Standard to be adopted in the future:

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances current segment disclosures and requires additional disclosures of significant segment expenses.

 

Summary: The amendments improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements.

 

Effective Date: ASU 2023-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Group expects to adopt all the aforementioned guidance when effective. Management is assessing the impact of the aforementioned guidance on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements.

 

Summary: The intent of this standard is to enhance the decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard applies to all entities subject to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. In addition, entities will be required to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes. They will also disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. The standard also outlines additional disclosure requirements for all entities and specific updates for public business entities.

 

Effective Date: ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Group expects to adopt all the aforementioned guidance when effective. Management is assessing the impact of the aforementioned guidance on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact.
