Operating expenses increased by $2,219,376, or 34%, as a result of the following items:
Current report
The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to (i) an increase of approximately $2,579,000 in human resource costs, including benefits, which primarily relates to stock-based compensation, due to the reversal of approximately $2,800,000 of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to modification of restricted stock unit awards for three employees who separated from the Company; (ii) an increase of approximately $106,000 in other sales and marketing costs, excluding human resources and travel and entertainment related to an increase in use of third party contractors and consultants; (iii) an increase of approximately $117,000 in other expense, primarily related to increased rent and other facility costs, and new software purchases. These increases were partially offset by (i) a decrease of approximately $347,000 in professional fees and consulting costs primarily related to legal fees surrounding the acquisition of Ardenna during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which were recovered in the fourth quarter of 2023; and (ii) a decrease of approximately $246,000 in other research and development costs, excluding human resources and travel and entertainment, which primarily relates to a decrease in use of third party contractors and consultants at Ondas Networks.

OAS and its portfolio companies have already gained a track record of industry-leading regulatory successes including the securing of the first-of-its-kind Type Certification (TC) from the FAA for the Optimus 1-EX UAV on September 25, 2023, becoming the first autonomous security data capture UAV to achieve this distinction. TC, recognized as the highest echelon of Airworthiness Certification, streamline operational approvals for broad flight operations over people and infrastructure. The certification verifies the compliance of the system’s design with the required FAA airworthiness and noise standards, ensuring safe operation within the US National Airspace System (NAS) thereby significantly broadening the range of operational scenarios and scaling up of operations for automated UAS. Achieving FAA Type Certification will enable drone operations beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) without a human operator on-site. With a strong footprint in the US market and worldwide, we believe that OAS is well-positioned with proven technology, a unique offering, and strong capabilities to strategically transform critical operations with our cutting-edge drone tech and capabilities.
