On May 17, 2022, Xeriant signed a Letter Agreement with XTI related to the introduction of XTI to Inpixon, a Nasdaq-listed company. Under this Letter Agreement, if there was a combination or other transaction between XTI and Inpixon, Xeriant would receive compensation of 6 percent of XTI fully diluted pre-merger shares, and XTI would assume the obligations of Xeriant’s Senior Secured Note with Auctus Fund, LLC.  On May 31, 2023, the joint venture was terminated according to an Acceleration Event, which was 24 months from the start of the joint venture.  On June 5, 2023, after suspecting that the obligations under the Letter Agreement were possibly being evaded, the Company transmitted a formal demand letter to XTI requesting compliance with the provisions outlined in the Letter Agreement, and in accordance with section 8 of the JV Agreement with XTI.  On July 25, 2023, Inpixon filed an 8-K, announcing their intention to merge with XTI having executed an Agreement of Plan and Merger with XTI.

The JV qualifies as a VIE based on the fact the JV does not have sufficient equity to operate without financial support from Xeriant. According to ASC 810-25-38, a reporting entity shall consolidate a VIE when that reporting entity has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) that provides the reporting entity with a controlling financial interest on the basis of the provisions in paragraphs 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J. The reporting entity that consolidates a VIE is called the primary beneficiary of that VIE. According to the JV operating agreement, the ownership interests are 50/50. However, the agreement provides for a Management Committee of five members. Three of the five
